Awake craniotomy is a newer method of anaesthesia for surgeries done near the eloquent areas of brain. Intraoperative monitoring of speech, motor and sensory testing is done with a goal of maximum tumour resection while preserving normal tissue which is not possible with routine general anaesthesia. This helps to prevent resecting the functional part of brain. This is a case series of awake craniotomy under awake–awake–awake technique for intracranial mass resection.
