5-ALA fluorescence–guided resection of a recurrent anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma: illustrative case

BACKGROUND: 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)–induced fluorescence of neoplastic tissue is known to occur in a number of high-grade gliomas. This fluorescence helps surgeons maximize safe resection by distinguishing previously indiscernible neoplastic tissue from brain parenchyma. Still, the effectivene...
