INTRODUCTION: Embolization is a well-established technique that facilitates the subsequent surgical @entity5 such as @entity18871 . However, there is risk of a neurological accident during angiography and @entity5 embolization from the internal carotid artery. Direct intratumoral embolization may help prevent these potential side effects. METHOD: A group of 7 @entity1 with @entity18871 vascularized through the branches of the internal carotid artery underwent direct tumoral embolization under general anesthesia. An injection made slowly with an intranasal or lateral percutaneous route with either a mixture of @entity3080 , lipiodal, and @entity5335 powder. Continuous radiographic control was used. RESULTS: This technique induced a marked devascularization and @entity39 of the @entity5 . The technique provided useful perioperative visualization of the @entity5 . No neurologic sequelae were encountered. CONCLUSION: Direct intratumoral embolization deserves further consideration. This might be especially important in @entity5 with extracranial extension, cavernous sinus involvement, or those with small or multiple recurrences.
