Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma is essentially managed by surgical intervention. In recent times, middle meningeal artery embolisation has emerged as a less invasive procedure in such cases. The use of fine catheters to selectively embolise the specific involved branches of the middle meningeal artery using polyvinyl alcohol particles looks promising; however, the presence of anastomotic arteries can result in reflux and embolisation of these atypical branches, causing a myriad of complications. There is a need to identify these abnormal vessels in time to have a positive outcome with the least complications.

脑膜中动脉栓塞治疗慢性硬膜下血肿：一把双刃剑。

慢性硬膜下血肿基本上是通过手术干预来治疗的。最近，在这种情况下，脑膜中动脉栓塞已成为一种侵入性较小的手术。细导管使用聚乙烯醇颗粒选择性栓塞脑膜中动脉的特定受损伤分支看起来很有希望；然而，吻合动脉的存在可导致这些非典型分支的反流和栓塞，引起无数的并发症。有必要及时识别这些异常血管，以获得阳性结果，并发症最少。
