Treatment of diseases involving the head and neck is most challenging because of the high density of vital structures in this region, the need to preserve function, and aesthetic requirements. Technical advances in needles, catheters, guide wires, and embolic materials have broadened the scope of interventional neuroradiologic procedures. Endovascular therapy can serve as a valuable adjunct to conventional surgical treatment for head and neck masses. In addition, it is now the treatment of choice for a variety of vascular lesions, such as arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, and pseudoaneurysms. In this article, examples from the spectrum of applications of endovascular therapy in the head and neck region are presented along with a discussion of therapeutic considerations.
由于头颈部区域重要结构密度高、需要保留功能以及美观要求，涉及头颈部疾病的治疗极具挑战性。针、导管、导丝和栓塞材料的技术进步拓宽了介入神经放射学程序的范围。血管内治疗可作为头颈部肿块传统手术治疗的重要辅助手段。此外，它现在是各种血管病变的首选治疗方法，如动静脉畸形、动静脉瘘和假性动脉瘤。本文介绍了血管内治疗在头颈部区域应用范围的实例，并讨论了治疗方面的考虑因素。
