Abstract
Central nervous damage related to intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy (IAC) for head and neck cancer reported to date are cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, and neuropathy. There have been no reports of cerebral hemorrhage as an IAC-related complication for head and neck cancer. Authors report a case that underwent intra-arterial infusion chemoradiotherapy for advanced sphenoid sinus cancer which extended to the left cavernous sinus and cranium, subsequently suffered cerebral hemorrhage thought to have been caused by IAC. Treatment should be performed with greater caution when the head and neck cancer involves the cavernous sinus or cranium, as in the present case.
