Abstract
Particles such as PVA, Microbead and Gelform powder have been used for embolization of intracranial hypervascular tumors. However, particulate materials have been sometimes described as having high risk of bleeding after embolization and less benefit.
NBCA, the liquid material used for the embolization of AVM, has been reported as a promising embolization material for hypervascular brain tumors recently. In this article we note the efficacy of NBCA as an embolization materials, the way to use NBCA in a practical manner, complications occurring during the embolization procedure, and previously reported histopathological findings.
