title: Interventional neuroradiology of the head and neck.
abstract: Interventional neuroradiologic techniques continue to assume increasing importance in the management of disorders of the head and neck. Their usefulness includes not only treatment for neoplastic and vascular conditions with embolization but also test occlusion for diagnostic information. Future developments also may extend the usefulness of interventional techniques to additional conditions, including prevention and treatment for ischemic stroke.
