Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Review of the literature was performed to define the optimal treatment of patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). The prognosis for this disease is extremely good if diagnosed well in time and if the tumor has not extended intracranially. Preoperative selective arterial embolization has decreased intraoperative blood loss and facilitated resection of larger tumors. Transnasal endoscopic resection preserves both the anatomy and physiology of the nose, requires less rehabilitation days after surgery, and is highly successful for selected patients. Radiation therapy is generally reserved for larger and/or unressectable tumors but has severe complications. Radiosurgery has several advantages over surgery or classic radiation therapy. However, further experiences and studies are required to confirm the usefulness of radiosurgery on JNA.

Introduction: Angiomyolipoma (AML), a benign mesenchymal tumor that commonly arises from the kidney, may be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex and perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas). Nasal angiomyolipoma is very rare and usually occurs in elderly individuals with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Case Report: We report a rare case of nasal angiomyoli...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. Massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. Endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. In this article, we r...

متن کاملJuvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: a trap for the unwary.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, benign but aggressive tumour of the nasopharynx. It occurs primarily in male adolescents. The usual presentation is either nasal obstruction or epistaxis. We present a case with complete nasal obstruction of short duration. The management is discussed with reference to the literature. Because this tumour tends to occur in men in their second...

We describe a case of a 24-year-old male presenting urgently with a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) with difficulty breathing, inability to swallow, and respiratory distress following throat swelling. The swelling was reduced with administration of dexamethasone and the JNA was surgically resected within 48 hours. This presentation was atypical given the acuity of presentation and th...
