Abstract
The release of the placode and reconstruction of the myelomeningocele, preserving the maximum neural tissue is a challenge for the neurosurgeon. Vascular fluorescence with indocyanine green and/or fluorescein allows observation of the microvascularization of the spinal cord and adequately identifies viable tissue.
