The preoperative embolization of meningiomas has been part of the surgical treatment of large meningiomas for over 45 years. During that time there have been huge advances in the field of endovascular surgery with respect to techniques and instrumentation. Angiography and embolization are usually reserved for the largest tumors where there are concerns over potential blood loss with surgical excision. In this chapter, we discuss the technical aspects of angiography and embolization as well as results and complications.
