AbstractHaemangioblastomas are hypervascularized tumours. Their surgical management requires a complete resectioning and a prompt handling of the vascular inlets and outlets. The use of intraoperative indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VAG) depicts the precise vascular pattern for the surgeon. Its use is safe and easy, and the procedure can be repeated during the operation. Here we present a case of spinal haemangioblastoma treated with the aid of intraoperative ICG-VAG and the Flow 800 software. The use of the Flow 800 allowed the surgeon to detect, at a glance, minimal changes in the vascular supply during the dissection. The colour-coded images generated by the Flow 800 increase the ICG-CAG sensitivity, improving the capability to detect changes in vascular patterns.
