DOI: 10.1007/s00701-021-04796-1
Abstract: Sodium fluorescein (fluorescein) crosses a disrupted blood-brain barrier similarly to gadolinium contrast in contrast-enhancing cerebral tumors. When exposed to light with 560 nm wavelength during surgery, fluorescein emits a yellow-green fluorescent light that can be… read more here.

Fluorescein-guided surgery for the resection of pilocytic astrocytomas: A multicentric retrospective study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Oncology"
DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.943085
Abstract: Objective Pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are relatively benign tumors, usually enhancing on post-contrast MRI and often characterized by a mural nodule within a cystic component. Surgical resection represents the mainstay of treatment, and extent of resection… read more here.
