<h3>Introduction</h3> Endovascular embolization for tumors and vascular malformations has emerged as an important preoperative adjunct prior to resection. We describe the advantages of utilizing a recently released dual lumen balloon catheter ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, also known Onyx (ev3, Irvine, California, USA), variety head neck pathologies. <h3>Methods</h3> A retrospective review all cases Scepter C (MicroVention Inc, Tustin, USA) use in augmented was performed over 4 month period from October 2012 February 2013 at Medical University South Carolina, Charleston, USA. Charts angiographic images were reviewed. Representative involving diverse pathologies are summarized illustrate observed with catheter. <h3>Case illustrations</h3> Balloon novel employed treat both ruptured unruptured arteriovenous malformations, intracranial dural fistulae, neoplasms, carotid body tumors, thyroid mass, extracranial fistula. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The several older devices, including more efficient proximal plug formation enhanced navigability placement deep within pedicles. technique represents valuable tool add armamentarium neurointerventionalist address lesions.
