[Intravascular embolization of intracranial arteriovenous hemangiomas].

Abstract

The paper presents the technique of the procedures as well as the results of treating patients with operable difficult and non-operable intracranial angiomas.During 26 months (1997, 1998 and 1999) 13 patients (7 women and 6 men) with intracranial arteriovenous haemangiomas underwent intravascular embolisation. The angiomas were embolised with coils (COOK) and Histoacryl with Lipiodol.Among the angioma patients, 2 were treated successfully during four procedures, 2 were treated during 3 procedures. The treatment was fully successful in 6 patients following the 3-rd and 4-th procedures. 5 patients are still being treated. Complications, during both the treatment and follow-up, were observed in two patients.The intravascular embolisation of intracranial angiomas is an effective treatment modality. It carries, though, a certain risk of complication development. Using this method in neuro-surgically non-operable cases is a method of choice.
