Concern and Usefulness of Intratumoral Injection of Ethyl Alcohol for Devascularization of Intracranial Tumors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanism of action of intratumoral ethyl alcohol injection is dehydration and subsequent necrosis, denaturing the structure of the cellular proteins, resulting in complete ablation of the tumor. Pure alcohol also blocks blood flow to the tumor bed resulting in small blood vessel thrombosis that leads to tumor necrosis. Ethyl alcohol injection is also used for the treatment of liver and kidney tumors and vascular malformations (1).

AIM Hypervascular intracranial tumors may cause serious bleeding in surgery. Though pre-operative endovascular embolization of tumor is a widely accepted method, sometimes despite embolization, an effective and safer intraoperative hemostatic technique is needed to prevent or at least decrease the massive bleeding from the tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the ethyl...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few reports have described the embolization of head and neck lesions by using direct percutaneous techniques. We report our preliminary experience in the direct percutaneous embolization of hypervascular head and neck tumors by using Onyx in conjunction with standard endovascular embolization techniques. We describe the technical aspects of the procedure and its efficacy ...
متن کاملBiochemical Markers of Acute and Chronic Ethanol Use: Forensic and Clinical Applications
Background: The analysis of ethanol in bio-samples is an important method for determination of acute alcohol use/abuse both in clinical and forensic toxicology. In forensic cases, it is known that micro-organisms involved in the postmortem putrefaction process can produce alcohol and when the body has been traumatized. In clinical setting, post-ingestion time has a critical role for determinati...
