    CITATION: BASSAGANYAS-VANCELLS, ET AL. ¿COMBINED USE OF 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID AND INTRAOPERATIVE LOW-FIELD MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN HIGH-GRADE GLIOMA SURGERY.¿ WORLD NEUROSURGERY. OCT. 2019; 130: E206-E212. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1016/J.WNEU.2019.06.029. ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: WE SOUGHT TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID (5-ALA) AND LOW-FIELD INTRAOPERATIVE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (IMRI) ON THE EXTENT OF RESECTION OF HIGH-GRADE GLIOMAS (HGGS). RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH THOSE OBTAINED WHEN USING 5-ALA AND IMRI SEPARATELY. METHODS: WE RETROSPECTIVELY INCLUDED PATIENTS WITH AN HGG ELIGIBLE FOR GROSS TOTAL RESECTION (GTR) FROM JANUARY 2013 TO JANUARY 2018. PATIENTS WERE INCLUDED ACCORDING TO 5-ALA SURGICAL GUIDANCE (5A-GROUP), IMRI (IMRI-GROUP), OR BOTH (5A-IMRI-GROUP). SURGICAL VARIABLES WERE REGISTERED, AND PRESURGICAL AND POSTSURGICAL RADIOLOGIC AND CLINICAL VARIABLES WERE ANALYZED. EXTENT OF RESECTION GREATER OR EQUAL TO 90%, COMPLICATIONS, AND NEW PERMANENT NEUROLOGIC DEFICIT WERE COMPARED USING THE CHI-SQUARED AND ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE TESTS. OTHER VARIABLES STUDIED WERE MORTALITY, AVERAGE HOSPITAL STAY, SURGICAL TIME, AND KARNOFSKY PERFORMANCE SCALE STATUS BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY. RESULTS: MOST OF THE 118 PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT WERE IN MEN (59.2%). THE MEAN AGE WAS 58 YEARS. SIXTY PATIENTS (50.8%) WERE OPERATED ON USING EXCLUSIVELY 5-ALA ASSISTANCE (5A-GROUP), 19 (16.1%) USING IMRI (IMRI-GROUP), AND 39 (33%) COMBINING BOTH TECHNIQUES (5A-IMRI-GROUP). THERE WERE NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AMONG 3 GROUPS REGARDING EXTENT OF RESECTION GREATER OR EQUAL TO 90% (73% 5A, 73.7% IMRI, 71.8% 5A-IMRI, P = 0.94); COMPLICATION RATES (18.3% 5A, 5.3% IMRI, 7.7% 5A-IMRI, P = 0.17); NEW OR WORSENING OF PREEXISTING NEUROLOGIC DEFICIT AT 1-MONTH FOLLOW-UP (13.3% 5A, 10.5% IMRI, 15.4% 5A-IMRI, P = 0.26); AVERAGE HOSPITAL STAY IN DAYS (9.5 5A, 6.4 IMRI, 7.6 5A-IMRI, P = 0.18); KARNOFSKY PERFORMANCE SCALE; NOR SURGICAL TIME IN MINUTES (212.4 5A, 187.9 IMRI, 201.4 5A-IMRI, P = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: IN OUR EXPERIENCE, COMBINED USE OF IMRI AND 5-ALA DOES NOT IMPROVE THE STUDIED VARIABLES WHEN COMPARED WITH THOSE TECHNOLOGIES WHEN USED SEPARATELY, EVEN THOUGH A SLIGHT TENDENCY OF A SUPERIOR EFFECTIVENESS IS OBSERVED WHEN USING IMRI INDIVIDUALLY. REPORTED EVENTS: ONE PATIENT IN THE 5A GROUP DIED 4 WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY DUE TO ENCEPHALITIS CAUSED BY E. COLI AND STATUS EPILEPTICUS.
