Brief summary
Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) could be a useful tool for real-time diagnosis of brain lesions (initial diagnosis or follow-up post resection to check for residual dysplasia) and real-time assessment of resections margins during surgery. Probe-based CLE using the CELLVIZIO® has never been used for glioma surgical guided resection. Before assessing the potential of this technique in improving surgical resection outcome, a feasability study has to be performed.
Interventions
The CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology) will be used for confocal endomicroscopy during a surgical procedure (either open surgical approach or stereotaxic biopsy). The probe dedicated to the CELLVIZIO® system will be positioned against the surface of the brain, sequences will be acquired, and finally compared with anatomapathology exams. Two specific medications will be used as contrast agent in the study: Fluorescein FAURE 500mg/5mL IV with a maximum of two doses per patient OR 5 amino-levulinic hydrochloride (GLIOLAN, MEDAC) orally at the dose of 20mg/kg of body weight.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To demonstrate the technical feasibility of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies. | End of the surgical procedure | The technical feasibility will be assessed by the capacity of the CELLVIZIO® system to provide microscopic images of healthy tissue and lesions suspected with malignancy and to match those images with classical histologies. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To demonstrate the safety of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, metastasis) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies. | 14 days after inclusion | Safety will be assessed by the number, type and severity of recorded adverse events. |
