These cases were divided into a supratentorial group (24 cases) and a brainstem group (26 cases) based on location and an adult group (28 cases) and a pediatric group (22 cases) based on age. Fluorescein-guided surgery was performed: the adult group received 5 mg\/kg sodium fluorescein before opening the dura, while the pediatric group received 2.5 mg\/kg during resection. Tumor visualization was evaluated by the enhancement of yellow fluorescein and considered \u201csatisfactory\u201d if the illumination demarcated the tumor boundary. Additionally, the consistency between fluorescein and neuronavigation was analyzed. The Karnofsky performance score (KPS) of all patients was recorded and assessed at admission, discharge, and the 6-month follow-up.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> In the 28 adult cases, 4 were unsatisfactory, while in the 22 pediatric cases, 2 were unsatisfactory; in 7 cases, there was an inconsistency between yellow fluorescein enhancement and neuronavigation, 6 were in the supratentorial group, and 1 was in the brainstem group. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in the satisfactory rate between the adult and pediatric groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.575), whereas there were significant differences inconsistency between the supratentorial group and brainstem group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.031). The mean KPS at admission was between 70 and 100, which was not significantly different from that at discharge (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.839), but the KPS at the 6-month follow-up was significantly higher than that at admission (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.041).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The consistency between sodium fluorescein and the neuronavigation system was higher in the brainstem group than in the supratentorial group; a half dose of sodium fluorescein (2.5 mg\/kg) was sufficient for pediatric patients. The combined utilization of sodium fluorescein and neuronavigation techniques may confer glioma patients the opportunity to obtain better clinical outcomes after surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.747072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]],"date-time":"2021-12-06T06:16:27Z","timestamp":1638771387000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Combined Application of Sodium Fluorescein and Neuronavigation Techniques in the Resection of Brain Gliomas"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Zhan","family":"Xue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuyu","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guijun","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wang","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junting","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"547","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-014-0546-6","article-title":"Fluorescein-guided surgery for malignant gliomas: a review","volume":"37","author":"Acerbi","year":"2014","journal-title":"Neurosurg Rev."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"392","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(06)70665-9","article-title":"ALA-Glioma Study Group.
