Embolization of cerebral angiomas by catheterization of cortical arteries.
A method of combined direct embolization of submillimetric cortical arteries, after preoperative arteriography, is described and 3 cases of cerebral angiomas presented with striking symptomatic improvement after embolization. Postoperative angiography in one case showed considerable diminution in the size of the angioma.
