title: [Digital subtraction angiography in otorhinolaryngology--preliminary report].
abstract: The paper presents the preliminary experience with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in otorhinolaryngology. This series included racemose hemangioma of the auricle in 3 cases, juvenile angiofibroma of nasopharynx in 4 cases, angioma in the retropharyngeal space in 1 case, tympanic body tumor in 1 case, traumatic epistaxis in 1 case, traumatic pseudoaneurysm in 1 case. The site, supply arteries, drainage veins of vascular tumors were shown with DSA. The intraoperative bleeding was reduced significantly by preoperative embolization of supply arteries to vascular tumors. The broken arteries of the traumatic epistaxis and the traumatic pseudoaneurysm were not only discovered but embolized. The indications and complications of DSA and measures for preventing and reducing complications were discussed.
