Abstract

Recent advances in microcatheter technology, refinements in embolic agents and improvements in navigational techniques have allowed for endovascular embolization to become an important adjunct in the treatment of vascular head and neck lesions. We describe several case reports where endovascular embolization was utilized in the treatment of such lesions.
