Real-time in vivo kinetics of protoporphyrin IX after administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid in meningiomas and comparative analyses with glioblastomas

Zusammenfassung: | Background
The usefulness of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)–mediated fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in meningiomas is intensely discussed. However, data about kinetics of 5-ALA and protoporphyrin (Pp) IX in meningiomas are lacking.
Methods
As the first study so far, we performed longitudinal intraoperative real-time ex situ measurements of fluorescence intensity and PpIX concentrations during FGS of ten benign and two atypical meningiomas. Kinetics were subsequently compared with data from 229 glioblastomas.
Results
Spectroscopy revealed fluorescence (median 2945.65 a.u.) and PpIX accumulation (median 18.31 μg/ml) in all 43 analyzed samples. Fluorescence intensity (2961.50 a.u. vs 118.41 a.u.;
