An intra-arterial chemotherapy procedure in patients with malignant tumours in the oral and maxillo-facial region which, from the vascular point of view, can be dependent on the external carotid artery and/or its branches is presented. Particularly for the prevention of catheter infection, obstruction, etc., a subcutaneous pouch, connected to the infusion catheter, is implanted subcutaneously in the submastoid region.

A case of angiofibroma of large proportions is presented which was manifest in various regions difficult of access. Using conventional techniques marked mutilation would have been expected. Consequently the technique of temporary disarticulation of the maxilla attached to the cheek with a transfacial access to the retromaxillary area was applied and will be described.
