OBJECTIVE: Hemangioblastomas remain a surgical challenge because of their arteriovenous malformation-like character. Recently, indocyanine green (ICG) videoangiography has been applied to neurosurgical vascular surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of tumor blood flow imaging by intraoperative ICG videoangiography in surgery for hemangioblastomas.
METHODS: Twenty intraoperative ICG videoangiography procedures were performed in 12 patients with hemangioblastomas. Seven lesions were located in the cerebellum, two lesions were in the medulla oblongata, and three lesions were in the spinal cord.
RESULTS: Ten procedures were performed before or during dissection, and 10 procedures were performed after tumor resection. ICG videoangiography could provide dynamic images of blood flow in the tumor and its related vessels under surgical view. Interpretation of these dynamic images of tumor blood flow was useful for discrimination of transit feeders (feeders en passage) and also for estimation of unexposed feeders covered with brain parenchyma. Postresection ICG videoangiography could confirm complete tumor resection and normalized blood flow in surrounding vessels.
CONCLUSIONS: In surgery for hemangioblastomas, careful interpretation of dynamic ICG images can provide useful information on transit feeders and unexposed hidden vessels that cannot be directly visualized by ICG.
