  "abstract": "Vocal cord haemangiomas in adults are extremely rare. Management options include surgical resection, steroid therapy, ethanol injection, cryosurgery, radiation therapy and laser surgery. Transarterial embolisation has rarely been reported as a treatment for vocal cord haemangiomas in adults. This may be the first case in which an adult with a vocal cord haemangioma was successfully treated with transarterial embolisation. This patient, in the 40s, presented with complaints of a gradually progressive change in her voice over the past 6 months and was diagnosed with vocal cord haemangioma. She underwent transarterial embolisation, resulting in a significant reduction in the lesion size without any complications, which improved her voice. Superselective transarterial embolisation may be a safe and viable option for vocal cord haemangiomas in adults without major complications who prefer not to undergo surgical or laser excision for infantile-type haemangiomas that are resistant to conventional therapies.",
