Angiographic changes of head and neck chemodectomas following radiotherapy. 1977

S F Handel, and M H Miller, and L S Miller, and H Goepfert, and S Wallace

Angiography is useful in following selected patients with chemodectoma of the head and neck treated by radiotherapy. Comparison of preradiotherapy and post radiotherapy angiograms in three patients revealed a decrease in the following: size of feeding arteries, size of tumor, intensity of tumor opacification, and degree of venous shunting. When chemodectomas are not amenable to physical examination and when the question of radiotherapy complication vs further growth of tumor arises, postradiotheraphy angiography may be of particular value.
