[Angiography of face and skull base (author's transl)]. 1978

A Krastel

The anatomic and technical conditions of the angiography of the face and the skull base are described. The significance of the catheter technique for selective demonstration of branches of the external carotid artery is stressed. The communications between the internal and the external carotid artery are discussed as well as the angiographic problems of arteriovenous fistulae and of hypervascular tumors. The selective angiography of the internal and the external carotid artery is an important tool of neuroradiology. By exact anatomic correlation of individual vessels and pathologic processes of the face and the skull base it is of interest also for oto-rhino-laryngology. Because of pain associated with the injection of contrast material general anaesthesia is deriable for the angiography of the external carotid artery.

D005925	Glomus Jugulare Tumor	A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein.

It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved.
