  • Title: Detection of a residual nidus by surgical microscope-integrated intraoperative near-infrared indocyanine green videoangiography in a child with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
    Author: Takagi Y, Kikuta K, Nozaki K, Sawamura K, Hashimoto N.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2007 Nov; 107(5 Suppl):416-8. PubMed ID: 18459907.
    Abstract:
    With the use of indocyanine green (ICG) as a novel fluorescent dye, and its integration into a compact system that takes advantage of modern video technology, fluorescence angiography has recently reemerged as a viable option. In this report, the authors show the efficacy of ICG videoangiography in the case of a child with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM). In this case, the ICG videoangiography shows residual nidus of diffuse-type AVM. This is a safe and simple method that can be used to assess the microcirculation of the brain. The ICG videoangiography is helpful in resecting residual cerebral AVM, especially in cases of diffuse-type AVM.
