Usefulness of vascular examinations in diagnosis and treatment of the face-skull neoplasms.
Arteriography of external carotid artery and sporadically orbitophlebography were performed in 52 patients of both sexes, aged 10-74 years. Indications for arteriography and orbitography stemmed from cases in which routine clinical-radiological examinations failed to determine the extent of neoplastic changes. The technique of transdermic puncture of the common carotid artery of the supraorbital vein was applied in the studies. Uropolin 75% was used as control material. The studies confirmed usefulness of arteriography both in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of neoplasms of the jaws as well as the face facilitating the determination of topography of the tumor and the direction of growth.
