Summary

Description

Onyx® is a non-adhesive liquid intravascular embolic agent comprised of EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) copolymer dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), and suspended micronized tantalum powder to provide contrast for visualization under fluoroscopy. It is usually used for treatment of arteriovenous malformations. The DMSO solvent dissipates into the blood, causing the EVOH copolymer and suspended tantalum to precipitate in situ into a spongy, coherent embolus. This material may produce vascular and perivascular inflammation, angionecrosis and a foreign body giant cell reaction. Recanalization occurs in a very small percentage of cases. These images show a necrotic eschar on the scalp of a man who underwent a brain tumor resection. Some vessels are filled with Onyx® which appears as a a black, granular material.
