Official Title: Adjoint Intra-operative Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) to Present Tissue on the Cellular Level in Defined Lesions of the Central Nervous System (CNS) During Medically Induced Neurosurgery in Subcranial Tumors and Glioma

Study ID: NCT02491827

Interventions

Cellvizio mini laser probe

Study Description

Brief Summary: Purpose of the study is to answer the question whether confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE, also named 'optical biopsy') might improve the results of medically necessary neurosurgery to prove practicability, safety and harmlessness of CLE during neurosurgical procedures

Detailed Description: In patients requiring neurosurgical oncological Intervention using endoscopic devices, a mini laser probe will be administered through the endoscopic device to characterize in vivo the tissue by thousandfold magnification down to the cellular level (so-called optical biopsy). Magnification is presented to the neurosurgeon in time to better differentiate between healthy and pathological tissue. Post-surgery results of in-vivo Differentiation will then be compared to histocytopathological findings.
