Fluorescein sodium ‐guided resection of intracranial lesions in 22 dogs

ConclusionThe intraoperative use of FS is a simple and safe technique to guide the resection of intracranial lesions in dogs. The findings on Gd enhancement, FS staining, and histopathology appeared to agree but require validation in a larger set of cases. Clinical SignificanceThe intraoperative use of FS may improve the prognosis of dogs with brain tumors by guiding the resection of lesions.
