Radiologic procedures used to evaluate patients with suspected glomus tumor have included plain skull radiography, temporal bone tomography, computed tomography, and cerebral angiography. Of these, only angiography has proven reliable as a screening procedure for small glomus tympanicum and jugulare tumors. Digital subtraction angiography was used as the initial examination for suspected paraganglioma in 14 patients. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography proved to be an acceptable screening tool for these highly vascular tumors. Also, intraarterial digital subtraction angiography proved very satisfactory for mapping of tumor blood supply, which greatly simplified preoperative embolization. Effectiveness of therapy was readily ascertained by serial follow-up intravenous digital subtraction angiography.
用于评估疑似球瘤患者的放射学检查方法包括普通颅骨X线摄影、颞骨体层摄影、计算机断层扫描和脑血管造影。其中,只有血管造影被证明是一种可靠的小鼓室球瘤和颈静脉球瘤筛查方法。数字减影血管造影被用于14例疑似副神经节瘤患者的初步检查。静脉数字减影血管造影被证明是这些高血运肿瘤的一种可接受的筛查工具。此外,动脉数字减影血管造影在肿瘤血供的定位方面非常令人满意,这大大简化了术前栓塞。通过系列随访静脉数字减影血管造影可以很容易地确定治疗效果。
