This article was designed to report a rare case of oropharyngeal chondroma in a 31 year-old male patient. Computed tomography revealed an encapsulated cystic-solid tissue mass having the clear-cut contours with multiple diffuse foci of calcification in the tissue thickness. The neoplasm was morphologically characterized as a chondroma. The tumour was removed with the use of the modified Lauers-Balon procedure with the dissection of the lower jaw.

The objective is to describe the case of successful endovascular treatment of residual chronic subdural hematoma.Clinical case. Patient A., 77 years old, was admitted to the hospital with a directional diagnosis of stroke. During further examination, left hemispheric chronic subdural hematoma with a volume of 100 cm3 was revealed. The patient was twice performed closed external drainage of hematoma. And for each subsequent control computed tomography studies, a residual hematoma with a volume effect on the brain was determined. Endovascular selective embolization of the left middle meningеal artery was performed. During the examination after 5 months, a complete reduction of hematoma, cerebral and focal neurological symptoms was noted.Conclusion. Endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery may be a pathogenetically substantiated, minimally invasive alternative to repeated surgical interventions for residual and recurrent chronic subdural hematoma. It will be reasonable to continue research to assess the effectiveness and safety of the methodology.
