Cranial and Spinal Tumour Embolization

Cranial and Spinal Tumour Embolization

Cranial and spinal tumours often have rich blood supply, increasing surgical bleeding risk and treatment complexity. These tumours may compress surrounding brain or spinal cord structures, causing neurological symptoms.

Tumour embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumour before surgery. It reduces bleeding, improves surgical safety, and helps achieve better tumour control while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.

Symptoms Indicating Need for Tumour Embolization

Tumours may cause symptoms due to pressure, bleeding, or reduced blood supply to surrounding tissue. Embolization is advised when tumours are highly vascular or surgery carries high bleeding risk. Pre-treatment embolization improves safety, reduces complications, and supports effective tumour management with better surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

Headache pressure

Limb weakness

Sensory loss

Seizure episodes

Vision problems

Balance difficulty

Causes Requiring Tumour Embolization

Highly Vascular Tumour Conditions

Highly vascular brain tumours.

Spinal tumours with heavy blood supply.

Risk of excessive surgical bleeding.

Tumour-related neurological compression.

Preoperative surgical planning needs.

Recurrent or large tumours.

Inoperable tumours requiring palliation.

Benefits of Tumour Embolization

Tumour embolization reduces blood supply to cranial and spinal tumours, minimizing bleeding and improving surgical safety. It preserves surrounding healthy tissue, shortens operative time, and lowers complication rates. The minimally invasive approach allows faster recovery, reduced hospital stay, and more effective tumour management with improved overall patient outcomes.
