Indocyanine-green for fluorescence-guided surgery of peripheral nerve sheath tumors – A case report

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Functioning to detect selective fluorescence in areas of increased permeability, near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging has emerged as a powerful adjunct in the field of surgical oncology. Here we present the first reported case of successful NIR in vivo and ex vivo visualization of a common peroneal nerve (CPN) schwannoma - a proof of concept for the novel use of intraoperative NIR fluorescent dyes for peripheral nerve tumor resection.
