Surgical Hyperspectral imaging and Indocyanine green Near-infrared Examination (SHINE) for brain arteriovenous malformation resection: a case report on how to visualize perfusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background and importance

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies that pose significant risks, including intracranial hemorrhage and neurological deficits. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, requiring precise intraoperative imaging to ensure complete removal while preserving critical structures. This case report presents the first combined use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and indocyanine green video angiography (ICG VA) to visualize perfusion during brain AVM surgery, highlighting the potential benefits of these advanced imaging techniques.

Case description

A 66-year-old male presented with chronic headaches but no neurological deficits. MRI revealed a superficial AVM in the left frontal lobe within the superior frontal sulcus, measuri
