The usefulness of intraoperative sodium fluorescein in the surgical treatment of relapsed high-grade brain tumors in pediatric patients.

Purpose: We report the usefulness of intraoperative sodium fluorescein (SF) in the surgical treatment of relapsed high-grade brain tumors in pediatric neurosurgery.
