Naci KOÇER, Osman KIZILKILIÇ
İstanbul Üniversitesi, Cerrahpaşa Tıp Fakültesi, Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı, Nöroradyoloji Bilim Dalı, İstanbul Meningiomas are affected by embolization depending on their vascularization. Preoperative embolization should be done in very large tumors and tumors showing prominent vascularization. Serious complications are very rare, although cranial nerve damage, damage to adjacent tissues with unintended tissue embolisation, or stroke may be seen.
