The autors review the most common hypervascular craniofacial tumors usually managed with endovascular embolization techniques. Even though controversial issues remain, there are reasonable data supporting the use of transcatheter devascularization techniques prior to the surgical resection of these lesions in order to reduce the intraoperative blood loss, the operative time and to facilitate their complete removal. Nevertheless, its use is not recommended as a broad treatment strategy for all craniofacial tumors. Eventually, embolization may induce and accelerate the natural involution of some hemangiomas. Randomized clinical studies must be done in order to define the efficacy and indications of these techniques.
