COMPLICATIONS DEFINITION Benign, biologically progressive, highly vascular, high incidence of persistence and recurrence. 0.5% of all neoplasms of head and neck. Hippocrates described a polyp in the nose which weeped blood. Finally Friedberg in 1940 used the term Angiofibroma. Sphenopalatine foramen (Usually Superior lip of the sphenopalatine foramen at the junction of the Pterygoid Process of ...

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 ...

OBJECTIVE To develop a new staging system for juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma that reflects changes in surgical approaches (endonasal), route of intracranial extension, and the extent of vascular supply from the internal carotid artery. DESIGN Retrospective review of case series. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENTS Patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery for juvenile n...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign, vascular tumor which typically presents in adolescent males. Although surgical resection is usually recommended for the management of this tumor, external beam radiation therapy has also been advocated in the literature. We report three cases of large juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas with extensive intracranial extension primarily managed w...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) involves difficult anesthetic management because of the risk of massive bleeding, while airway management is rarely a problem in JNA. This report presents an unusual case of JNA causing airway obstruction.

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...

INTRODUCTION  Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare, highly vascular, and histologically benign tumor, generally observed in male adolescents. It shows very aggressive behavior due to local invasiveness and is associated with various symptoms. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma originates in the sphenopalatine forame, causing epistaxes and nasal obstruction. OBJECTIVE  To retrospec...
