    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Fluorescent compounds enhance tumor margin delineation and blood flow visualization in neurosurgery.
    • Current applications of fluorescence in spinal lesion treatment are not well-established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the role of fluorescent compounds in treating spinal vascular malformations and tumors.
    • To explore emerging technologies like activatable cell-penetrating peptides (ACPPs) and nanoparticles for spinal lesion treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of case reports and series.
    • Assessment of fluorescent techniques, including indocyanine green (ICG).
    • Exploration of novel technologies such as ACPPs and nanoparticles.

    Main Results:

    • Case reports indicate successful visualization and treatment of spinal lesions using ICG, with no reported complications.
    • Limited evidence exists, with a lack of large-scale or prospective studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective intraoperative visualization is crucial for successful spinal lesion surgery.
    • Fluorescent techniques hold potential as a cornerstone for treating spinal lesions.
    • Further investigation into wide-scale applications and alternative fluorophores like 5-ALA and fluorescein is recommended.
