title: Percutaneous injection of an alcoholic embolizing emulsion as an alternative preoperative embolization for spine tumor.
abstract: A hypervascular pheochromocytoma metastasis in the sixth cervical vertebra was embolized preoperatively by an intravertebral injection of an alcoholic embolizing emulsion, when transarterial embolization was considered too dangerous because of the possibility of inadvertent embolization of the intracerebral vertebrobasilar territory.
