Preoperative endovascular embolization of meningiomas: update on therapeutic options.
In this review paper the authors analyze new therapeutic options for the embolization of meningiomas, as well as the future of meningioma treatment through recent relevant cohorts and articles. They investigate various embolic materials, types of meningiomas amenable to embolization, imaging techniques, and potential imaging biomarkers that could aid in the delivery of embolic materials. They a...
متن کاملPreoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas.
The goal of preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas is to facilitate their surgical removal by reducing tumor vascularity and decreasing blood loss during surgery. This study is based on personal experience with about 100 embolized meningiomas and on the experience of others. Embolization is performed during the same session as diagnostic angiography. The appropriate embolic mater...
متن کامل[Preoperative embolization of intracranial meningiomas].
The method and results for preoperative embolization are described in 36 cases with intracranial meningiomas. Embolization materials were injected through a transfemoral catheter, selectively placed in the external carotid artery. Chopped gelfoam served as embolization material in 29 pa tients and ivalon particles were used in 7 patients. In 19 out of 36 cases the feeding arteries arose ...
متن کاملPreoperative Endovascular Embolization of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
The juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) comprises only 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms. This is a rare tumor, pathoanatomical characterized as benign vascular tumor with frequent localization in pterygopalatine fossa in adolescent males. Despite the absence of malignant nature, the juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is known to have locally invasive dissemination and progressive growth...
متن کاملPreoperative endovascular embolization of craniospinal hemangioblastomas.
PURPOSE To determine whether hemangioblastomas, highly vascular tumors requiring surgery that is potentially complicated by excessive bleeding, can be embolized safely by using interventional techniques that furnish a more avascular surgical field. METHODS Nine hemangioblastomas involving either the cerebellum or the spinal cord were embolized preoperatively. In each case the feeding artery w...
