Abstract: Localization of intramedullary spine tumors can be difficult. Various intraoperative aids have previously been described, but have limited use due to expense, complexity, and time. Intravenous fluorescein is an inexpensive and safe drug that may be useful in the localization of such tumors. We describe a technical description of the intra-operative use of fluorescein sodium as an aid in the localization of a high grade intramedullary spine tumour.
