title: Arterial embolisation in the treatment of central haemangiomas of the maxilla. Report of two cases.
abstract: The recent refinement of super-selective angiography and subsequent embolisation offer new promising possibilities in the treatment of central haemangiomas in the maxillo-facial area, either as a pre-operative measure allowing safer surgical removal, or as definitive therapy. Two cases of central haemangiomas of the maxilla are presented, both treated successfully by embolisation.
