Methods All 41 patients including 3 cases were embolized by 3 0 silk line segments, 14 cases by selective embolization of dry dura particles, 16 by PVA and 8 cases by NBCA. Results Lesions were completely embolized in 27 cases, and partialy embolized in 14 cases. Paralysis of limbs were significantly improved in 36 cases, the other 5 cases showed no improvement on account of previous resection of the lesions.
