Abstract

Interventional approaches to head and neck vascular anomalies have evolved with our understanding of disease pathologic condition and advances in medical and surgical treatment. Embolization's role in the disease management ranges from stand-alone treatment with curative intent to adjunctive or even palliative, depending on the lesion. This decision is best made through multidisciplinary collaboration among surgeons, interventionalists, and medical specialists. Finally, setting realistic expectations with the patient and family is a crucial step preceding any intervention. This article elaborates on the considerations influencing a given treatment plan and specific interventional strategy.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure Consultant for Cerenovus, a supplier of N-BCA glue.
