Feasibility of Augmented Reality for Pediatric Giant Supratentorial Tumors: A Report of Three Cases.
Curēus 2024 March
Giant supratentorial brain tumors (GSBTs) in children are uncommon and extremely challenging entities unique to pediatric neurosurgery. Factors such as young patient age, need for urgent intervention, intraoperative blood loss, and ongoing raised intracranial pressure symptoms are examples of difficulties faced. Recently, there has been a growing body of literature on augmented reality (AR) in adult neurosurgery. In contrast, the use of AR in pediatric neurosurgery is comparatively less. Nonetheless, we postulate that AR systems will be helpful for understanding spatial relationships of complex GSBT anatomy for preoperative planning in a timely fashion. This study describes our experience in trialing AR as a potential tool for three cases of pediatric GSBTs. Overall, the AR platform offers our neurosurgical team excellent visuospatial insights for preoperative decision-making. However, we observe that substantial time is required to set up the AR system prior to each clinical case discussion by the neurosurgical team. In congruency with existing literature, our preliminary results report that there are still obstacles that need to be addressed before the technology can be seamlessly implemented into the clinical workflow for these time-sensitive childhood brain tumors. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the potential use of AR for complex pediatric GSBT cases.
