abstract="The purpose of this study is to present the usefulness of endovascular treatment of vascular diseases and neoplasms of the head and neck. Endovascular embolization has wide application in laryngological practice. Embolization procedures are used for curative, preoperative or palliative management. In cases of head and neck tumours, embolization is performed most often in paragangliomas and juvenile nasopharyngeal fibromas. This method allows reduction of intraoperative blood loss, shortens the operative time and facilitates tumour resectability. By causing shrinkage of the tumour in size, it allows the relief of symptoms associated with mass effect in inoperable neoplasms. Moreover, it may be a curative treatment in vascular malformations and haemangiomas. It is also an invaluable tool in the treatment of intractable epistaxis, ex. posttraumatic, associated with the presence of a neoplasm, after radiotherapy, iatrogenic or in Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome. Embolization with the use of detachable coils or stent grafts is an effective method of treatment of aneurysms located at extracranial carotid arteries",
