Description
Summary:Besides image-guided biopsy techniques, the emphasis in the interdisciplinary cooperation between head and neck surgery and neuroradiology is on vessel-occluding and preserving measures. Knowledge of dangerous anastomoses between extracranial and intracranial vessels is crucial. The principles of vessel-occluding procedures including materials are presented and illustrated with case examples. Embolization of glomus tumors or epistaxis and preoperative permanent vessel occlusion techniques are demonstrated as well as vessel-preserving therapies, such as placement of covered stents for improving tumor resectability or after iatrogenic laceration of the internal carotid artery.
