[Innovations in interventional radiology applied to the field of otolaryngology: A pictorial essay].

Abstract

The management of hypervascular ENT tumors is usually complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach because of the risk of serious intra-operative bleeding and of potential injuries to cranial nerves and/or large cervical vessels. Over the last four decades, advances in neuro-interventional radio­logical procedures have produced a range of adjunctive endo­vascular techniques in addition to conventional surgery. A pictorial essay in ENT specialty is presented in this article highlighting the most relevant innovations in interventional radiology.
