title: [Interventional neuroradiology. I. Cranio-facial embolisations (author's transl)].
abstract: Technical and methodological procedures as well as results and follow-up studies of superselective angiographies and embolisations with different materials (gelfoam, lyophilised dura, silicone-elastomer) in 105 patients with vascular lesions (arteriovenous angiomas and fistulas, capillary haemangiomas), benign (glomus tumors, fibromas, meningeomas) and malignant tumors (sarcomas, metastases) of the cranio-facial region are described. Due to the clinical findings and follow-up studies up to three years there were different palliative and curative results which are exemplified. Therefore, a uniform performance of the embolisatory interventions is refused. The arterial approach, the different catheter systems as well as the actual technical procedure of the embolisations, with or without superselective pharmacoangiographies, has to be chosen according to the individual manifestation of the lesions and their anatomical and pathological conditions.
