title: Therapeutic embolization in angiomas and tumors.
abstract: With reference to 4 treated patients, the possibilities of embolization are discussed. Gelfoam is the substance that can be used most easily, but it has only limited possibilities of application because of the chance of resorption. On several of the patients discussed, other substances were used, which appeared to have had a favorable effect on the result. To prevent nerve failure due to embolization, the vascularization of the nerves involved should be borne in mind.
