5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence-guided resection of intramedullary ependymoma: report of 9 cases.
BACKGROUND Resection guided by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence has proved to be useful in intracranial glioma surgery. However, the effects of 5-ALA on spinal cord tumors remain unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of 5-ALA fluorescence-guided resection of intramedullary ependymoma for achieving maximum tumor resection. METHODS This study included 10 patients who underwe...
متن کاملMultiphoton excitation fluorescence microscopy of 5-aminolevulinic acid induced fluorescence in experimental gliomas.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The clinical usefulness of 5-ALA guided detection of tumor tissue has been demonstrated for a number of malignancies. However, current techniques of intraoperative detection of protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in situ do not offer subcellular resolution. Therefore, discrimination of non-specific 5-ALA induced fluorescence remains difficult. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this...
متن کاملFluorescence spectroscopy combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in detecting oral premalignancy.
BACKGROUND Early detection of premalignant/malignant lesions in the oral cavity can certainly improve the patient's prognosis. This study presents fluorescence imaging with the topical application of 5-aminolevulinic as a way to improve detection of various oral tissue pathologies. This procedure depends mainly on comparing the intensity of red and green fluorescence emitted from tissues during...
متن کاملFocal cortical dysplasia – review
Focal cortical dysplasia is a malformation of cortical development, which is the most common cause of medically refractory epilepsy in the pediatric population and the second/third most common etiology of medically intractable seizures in adults.Both genetic and acquired factors are involved in the pathogenesis of cortical dysplasia. Numerous classifications of the complex structural abnormalit...
متن کاملFocal Cortical Dysplasia.
Focal cortical dysplasias are common malformations of cerebral cortical development and are highly associated with medically intractable epilepsy. They have been classified into neuropathological subtypes (type Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, and III) based on the severity of cytoarchitectural disruption--tangential or radial dispersion, or loss of laminar structure--and the presence of unique cells types su...
