A 54-year-old man presented with two episodes of dysarthria and left facial droop. Both episodes resolved by the time of examination. MRI of the brain revealed a right frontotemporal, heterogeneously enhancing mass with surrounding vasogenic oedema, suggestive of a high-grade primary brain neoplasm. The patient was administered preoperative 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (Gliolan), and fluorescence-guided resection of the lesion was undertaken. infection was diagnosed from the specimen and the patient was given appropriate antifungal treatment. This is the first reported case of Gliolan-mediated fluorescence in a fungal abscess and highlights one of the potential pitfalls in fluorescence-guided surgery.
一名54岁男性出现两次构音障碍和左侧面部下垂。两次发作在检查时均已缓解。脑部MRI显示右侧额颞叶有一个不均匀强化的肿块,周围伴有血管源性水肿,提示为高级别原发性脑肿瘤。患者术前接受了盐酸5-氨基酮戊酸(Gliolan)治疗,并进行了荧光引导下的病变切除术。从标本中诊断出感染,患者接受了适当的抗真菌治疗。这是首例报道的Gliolan介导的真菌性脑脓肿荧光病例,突出了荧光引导手术中一个潜在的陷阱。
