title: [Treatment of tumors in relation to the transverse portion of the vertebral artery].
abstract: Among 28 lesions, 22 tumors and 6 anteriovenous malformations, operated with control of the vertebral artery, 15 are located close to the transverse canal. Analysis of arteriographic datas from 20 cases of tumors related to the vertebral artery, points out the interest of the surgical control of this vessel, in the treatment of these tumors. This control is mainly indicated in case of hypervascularized tumors, or compression of the vertebral artery, especially if it is the dominant vessel or if it gives a radiculo-medullary branch. For this control, the lateral retro-jugular approach is used, and sometimes associated with other techniques: embolization, posterior approach, or anastomosis between carotid and vertebral artery about the lesion.
