Introduction. The problem of operations performing at brain tumors of difficult topographic localization and intensive blood supply requires search of new methods for it’s solving.
Methods. Indications for tumor devascularization are: hypervascular vasculature available for embolization. After determination of target-vessels embolization was performed.
Results. In 92% observations effective devascularization of tumor node was achieved. In 17 (65%) patients embolization was considered as total, in 7 (27%) — significant part of tumor vasculature was occluded, in 2 (8%) — embolization was acknowledged as sufficient.
Conclusions. This method allows to decrease the blood loss during surgical removing of extra-intracerebral tumors with intensive blood supply. This gives an opportunity to perform more radical and less traumatic surgery.
