Surgery remains the main therapy for intracranial enchondromas. Radiotherapy is required in case of sarcomatous evolution or when a gross total tumor resection is not feasible, as in the present case.

Fluorescein videoangiography is a cost-effective, easy-to-use, fast and safe intraoperative tool and is useful to assess graft patency and extent of cortical vascular network also in deeper cortical areas. In case of deep-seated anastomosis, it provides the great advantage of performing real-time manipulation of neurovascular structures during videoangiography observation. It could represent a valuable complementary or alternative technique to assess intraoperative bypass function.

For nonsaccular PICA aneurysms, in which vessel occlusion is often necessary, it is possible to adopt a selective use of revascularization techniques. Intraoperative occlusion test with ICG videoangiography and neurophysiological monitoring provides reliable indications, allowing real-time assessment of collateral circulation.
