Abstract
Vascular lesions of the head and neck are rich in clinical and therapeutic features and their management usually requires a multidisciplinary approach. Head and neck surgeons, stomatologists, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthodontists, pediatricians, and radiologists are often involved in their management. Radiologists performing endovascular therapy not only should be comfortable with catheter techniques and embolic materials, but also should have a thorough clinical and anatomic knowledge of this region. This allows adequate patient selection with precise definition of therapeutic goals and avoids potential complications. We will therefore discuss some general principles of functional vascular anatomy and embolization techniques in the head and neck region, as well as specific pathologies amenable to endovascular therapy, i.e., vascular malformations, vascular proliferations, and traumatic lesions.
