Preoperative Embolization of Cerebellar Hemangioblastoma with Onyx: Report of Three Cases / 신경중재치료의학

ABSTRACT

Hemangioblastoma is a benign and highly vascular tumor. Complete surgical resection of highly vascular tumor such as hemangioblastoma may be challenging due to excessive bleeding. Preoperative embolization of these lesions may decrease the intraoperative blood loss and facilitate excision. We report three cases of cerebellar hemangioblastomas that were embolized using Onyx.
