  • Title: Digital subtraction angiography in head and neck radiology.
    Author: Carmody RF, Seeger JF, Smith JR, Horsley WW, Miller RW.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1984; 26(4):261-6. PubMed ID: 6379498.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IVDSA) was used to evaluate 44 patients with suspected otolaryngologic abnormalities. Sixteen had IVDSA for pulsatile tinnitus or suspected glomus tumor of the petrous bone. Nine patients were evaluated because of pulsatile neck masses, and 12 others had suspected tumors of the neck, face, and paranasal sinuses. Seven had IVDSA following head and neck trauma. The technique of examination is described. The current indications of IVDSA in head and neck radiology are discussed. It is concluded that IVDSA is a suitable substitute for conventional angiography for many otolaryngologic conditions and, because of its safety, can be used more liberally.
