[Use of x-ray endovascular occlusion in combined treatment of juvenile angiofibroma of the skull base in children].

Of a total of 103 patients with juvenile angiofibroma of the base of the skull surgical treatment was given to 98 children. 10 operations were performed after preoperative roentgeno-endovascular occlusion (REO) of the tumor afferent vessels. Such occlusion in the region of a maxillaris was a sufficient measure to warrant a 2-fold reduction in the intraoperative blood loss and was achieved with hydrogel spheres and cylinders 0.
