Recurrent Angiofibroma Invading the Skull Base
نویسنده
چکیده
A 16-year-old male presented with a massive nasopharyngeal angiofibroma arising in the nasopharynx, nasal cavity, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa, and eroding the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone. Neuroimaging showed the tumor had infiltrated the parasellar region from the middle cranial fossa and reached the cavernous sinus. The tumor was almost completely removed macroscopically by a modified transbasal approach.

متن کاملDo open and endoscopic resection approaches to juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma result in similar blood loss and recurrence rates?
BACKGROUND Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are rare, slow-growing tumors of the nasal cavity and skull base that account for approximately 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. This benign, highly vascular tumor is almost exclusively found in adolescent males. JNAs classically present with nasal obstruction and/or recurrent epistaxis. More advanced tumors can present with facial asymme...
متن کاملGeometric alopecia after preoperative angioembolization of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
Resection of a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is challenging because of high intraoperative blood loss secondary to the tumor's well-developed vascularity. Endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons commonly collaborate with neurointerventionalists to embolize these tumors before resection in an attempt to reduce the vascular supply and intraoperative bleeding. However, angioembolizat...
