In 8 cases of maxillary and mandibular osteomyelitis which had failed to respond to traditional surgical and medicinal methods of treatment, a significant improvement could be achieved (in 7 of the 8 cases) by applying an intra-arterial clindamycin therapy. Treatment was carried out similar to the intra-arterial cytostatic perfusion treatment of tumors in the head and neck areas. Clindamycin was administered in daily dosages of 900 mg over a period of 8-23 days.
