Sumario:Although fluorescein is widely used for intraoperative angiography, some of its side effects remain obscure. In this report, we present the case of a 41-year-old patient with chronic ischemia caused by moyamoya syndrome who underwent bypass revascularization with intraoperative fluorescein angiography (FA). Immediately after the surgery, the patient presented homogeneous fluorescence of the entire skin. We discuss this curious phenomenon as well as other side effects that may arise due to FA.
