Treatment planning for patients with tumours of the skull requires a true multidisciplinary approach. Super-selective angiography, using a protocol approach, is necessary in building a proper strategy plan for treatment of these lesions. Embolization done by a well trained team has proven to be a valuable adjunct to the various treatment methods and it may eliminate the need for radiation of benign lesions of the base of the skull.
