(A) Preprocedure photograph. (B) Selective left ECA angiogram revealed dilated anomalous vascular channels fed by the distal internal maxillary artery. (C) Postembolization angiogram using squid-18, showing total obliteration of nidus. (D) DSA after 9 months showing reconstitution of the previous channel through linguofacial trunk. (E) Roadmap. (F) Postembolization angiogram after the second session showing complete obliteration. (G) Follow-up after 2 years.
