5-ALA fluorescence is a safe and useful intraoperative method for identifying tumor tissue and resection margins in patients with intramedullary or infiltrative extramedullary spinal cord tumors. Visual fluorescence combined with laser spectroscopy is a perspective method for intraoperative visualization of tumor remnants. This approach can improve safety and postoperative outcomes while maintaining resection quality.
