title: [Selected indications of embolization of vascular malformations of the face. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Interventional radiology has dramatically contributed to a better management of patients with a facial vascular malformation. Due to the extent of the lesion, these patients were formerly difficult to cure, but hyperselective embolisation can now overcome these problems with minimal risks. We present our therapeutic approach in 2 cases with favorable results and the choice of an embolization particle is discussed according to recent datas.
