Background:
The purpose of this study was to present our preliminary assessment of the safety and efficacy of 125 I interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) in the management of pediatric skull base tumors.
Methods:
Thirty pediatric patients with skull base tumors treated with 125 I IBT from April 2007 to May 2017 were included in this study. The probabilities of local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results:
The one- and two-year LC rates were 96.7% and 74.8%, respectively. The one- and two-year OS rates were 93.3% and 72.2%, respectively. No severe acute toxicity was observed. Severe late toxicities were observed in one (3.33%) of 30 patients.
Conclusion:
125 I IBT is effective and safe in the management of pediatric skull base tumors, with satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
