Abstract

Temporal clipping of the external carotid artery for tumor resection is rarely documented in our country; nevertheless, it proves to be an effective and safe alternative therapeutic approach for reducing blood flow to the tumor and facilitating complete resection. This study presents a clinical case of a patient with a large facial neurofibroma where this technique was successfully employed without complications.
