Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concordance Between Surgical Impression of Residual Lesion and Appearance on Post-operative Imaging

    We will perform fluorescein fluorescence/angiography at surgery and assess if fluorescence reveals any residual tumor or vascular lesion (aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, or arteriovenous fistula) following surgical intervention. For subjects with brain tumors we will then perform a regular postoperative MRI and assess if there was any residual tumor and measure the accuracy of fluorescein fluorescence to assess the amount of the residual tumor seen on the postoperative MRI. Similarly, for the aneurysms or other vascular lesions, we will perform a regular postoperative angiogram and assess the accuracy of fluorescein angiography results in estimating the amount of residual lesion.

    up to 1 week. For subjects where clinical post-operative MRI/angiography was not performed within 7 days, MRI/angiography completed within 3 months post-operatively was utilized for evaluation.

Study Arms (1)

Fluorescein Sodium

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients enrolled in the study will prepare for surgery as per standard neurosurgical indications, procedures and institution protocols. At the time of the anesthesia induction, with the patient under general anesthesia, Fluorescein Sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) at a dose of 3-20 mg/kg will be administered intravenously (the optimal dosage will be determined within the study as the most minimal dose for adequate visualization will be used). For vascular lesions, fluorescein sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) will be injected and used to assess its application after the conventional methods have confirmed the exclusion of the aneurysm. No patient's care will be affected by the results of the Fluorescein angiography.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years or older.
  • Diagnosed by preoperative imaging modalities to have a brain tumor or vascular lesions (aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation or arteriovenous fistula) requiring surgical intervention.
  • The patient is determined by a board certified Neurosurgeon (above mentioned neurosurgeons) to benefit from the application of Fluorescein Sodium intraoperatively
  • Patient or legally authorized representative provides written informed consent to enroll in this study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Known allergic reaction to Fluorescein Sodium.
  • Children.
  • Prisoners.
  • Students.
  • Infection of the central nervous system or other sites.
  • Hemodynamic instability or significant impairments in circulation.
  • Concomitant treatment with other investigational drugs.
  • Any uncontrolled condition unrelated to the neurosurgical disease.
  • History of psychiatric, additive, or any other disorder that compromises the ability to provide informed consent or comply with study protocols.
  • Participation on other clinical trials during the last thirty days.
  • Pregnant patients.
  • Patients unable to discontinue medications that affect Fluorescein metabolism.
