Intra-operative /sup 125/I seed implants of the pterygo-palantine fossa and/or base skull region were performed in 15 patients at Stanford between 1976 and 1980. Local control was obtained in the implanted volume in 6 of the 10 previously untreated patients and in 4 of 5 of those who were treated with combined resection and seed implantation after local recurrences. The technique of base skull implantation, the low incidence of complications from this procedure and the dosimetric methods are discussed.
