Introduction Surgical resection of medulloblastoma (MB) remains a challenge. At present, a
variety of tracers have been used for intraoperative tumor visualization. However, there are …

Maximal safe tumor resection remains the key prognostic factor for improved prognosis in
brain tumor patients. Despite 5-aminolevulinic acid-based fluorescence guidance the …

Background Surgery for gliomas is often confounded by difficulties in distinguishing tumor
from surrounding normal brain. For better discrimination, intraoperative optical imaging …

BACKGROUND Accurate tissue sampling in nonenhancing (NE) gliomas is a unique
surgical challenge due to their intratumoral histological heterogeneity and absence of …

High‐grade gliomas represent a widely heterogeneous group of tumors, the most frequent of
which is glioblastoma multiforme. Its annual incidence has risen over the last decades …

OBJECTIVE Fluorescence-guided resections performed using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)
have been studied extensively using the BLUE400 system. The authors introduce a triple …

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are the most frequent primary malignant brain tumors in adults,
which lead to death within two years of diagnosis. Maximal safe resection of malignant …

Background Achieving maximal functionally safe resection of gliomas located within the
eloquent speech areas is challenging, and there is a lack of literature on the combined use …

OBJECT Surgery of suspected low-grade gliomas (LGGs) poses a special challenge for
neurosurgeons due to their diffusely infiltrative growth and histopathological heterogeneity …

Background The data showing usefulness of navigated 3D–ultrasound (3DUS) during
awake resections of eloquent gliomas are sparse. Results of surgeries performed using …
