This manuscript discusses the current surgical management of glioblastoma. This paper
highlights the common pathophysiology attributes of glioblastoma, surgical options for …

Background Patients suffering from malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis. For the
surgical treatment of these tumors, 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) has become a new …

Object The accurate discrimination between tumor and normal tissue is crucial for
determining how much to resect and therefore for the clinical outcome of patients with brain …

The importance of the extent of resection for gliomas, and the utility of aminolevulinic acid
(ALA) and protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in increasing the extent of resection, has become …

Objective: This study is to analyze fluorescence sensitivity in the diagnosis of brain and
spinal cord tumors. Material and methods: The authors conducted a multicenter …

Objective With the use of fluorescence-guided resection with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA),
the rate of complete resection of the contrast-enhancing part of malignant gliomas could be …

OBJECT To avoid disorientation during endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery
(ETSS), the confirmation of anatomical landmarks is essential. Neuronavigation systems can …

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 …

Symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are
somewhat similar, and it is common to misdiagnose these two conditions. Although there are …

Objective: This study examined the association between 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) and
glucose tolerance. Design: A double blinded, randomized prospective parallel‐group …
