Summary of Preoperative and Postoperative MRI Status and Postresection NIR Fluorescence Status
| Cavernous sinus invasion | GTR (n) | GTR (%) | FRα-overexpressing | Residual neoplasm predicted by NIR | Clinically significant tumor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knosp grade (n) | adenomas (n) | in FRα-overexpressing patients (%)a | recurrenceb (%) | ||
| 0 (2) | 2 | 100 | 1 | 100 | 0 |
| 1 (5) | 4 | 80 | 3 | 100 | 0 |
| 2 (3) | 1 | 33 | 2 | 100 | 0 |
| 3 (2) | 1 | 50 | 1 | 100 | 0 |

FRα = folate receptor alpha; GTR = gross total resection; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
aPostoperative MRI from day 1, 2-mo, and 6- to 12-mo follow-up visits were used. If postoperative day 1 MRI was inconclusive regarding residual neoplasm, a later-date MRI was used.
bDefined as recurrence needing repeat treatment or causing new symptoms at 1-yr follow-up.
