Abstract;Superselective two-channel intra arterial chemotherapy was administered 177 times to 37 patients with head and neck malignant tumor, from November 1998 to March 2001, in our hospital. Its side effects and complications were evaluated in this study. None of the patients experienced Grade 4 chemotoxicity such as hematological, renal dysfunction or gastrointestinal symptoms. Drop out cases of intra-arterial chemotherapy encountered severe complications such as one DIC, one cerebral infarction, one recurrent and glossopharyngeal nerve palsy, and one zepsis. In case with tumor extension intracranial region or with tumor extension around respiratory tract, further management is required to prevent severe complications. (author abst.)
