Background. Surgical approaches to the parapharyngeal space (PPS) are challenging by virtue of deep location and neurovascular content. Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) is a formidable hypervascular tumor that involves multiple compartments with increase in size. In tumors with extension to parapharyngeal space, the endonasal approach was observed to be inadequate. Combined Endoscopic...

© 2015 Egyp an Journal of Neurosurgery. All rights reserved Background: Choroid plexus tumors arise mainly in children. Their blood supply is from the choroidal arteries in the form of a pedicle. These tumors represent surgical challenge owing to their vascularity and the relatively low blood volume especially in infants, necessitating early control of the vascular pedicle. Endoscopic assisted ...

BACKGROUND Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are highly vascular tumors that originate in the nasopharynx of young males. The primary treatment is surgical excision. Traditional surgical approaches are associated with significant morbidity and facial deformity. We introduce and outline the clinical advantages of an endoscopic surgical approach to JNAs using the Nd:YAG laser with imag...
