Overview
Introduction:
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign, highly vascularised tumor, which affects boys and young men. Among the dominant subjective complaints of patients are nasal obstruction and epistaxis, whereas endoscopic finding and imaging methods (CT, MRI) are crucial in diagnosis.
Methods:
Retrospectively a set of twelve patients who underwent endoscopic resection of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma during 2010-2016 was analyzed. In nine cases it was a primary surgery and the three remaining cases comprise reoperations for recurrences after a non-radical endoscopic or external surgery in the past.
Results:
Eleven tumors, including those involved in the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa, were eliminated radically, in one patient minor residue in the sinus cavernosus area has been left. All patients are disease-free, the residue remains without growth progression. There were no major surgical or postoperative complications.
Conclusion:
The use of endoscopic endonasal surgery in the resection of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in combination with preoperative embolization becomes the method of choice even for large tumors. Compared to external techniques, this is a more gentle approach, with lower postoperative morbidity and better cosmetic effect.
