Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign, highly vascular, and locally invasive tumor. Because the location of these tumors makes conventional surgery difficult, interest in endoscopic resection is increasing, particularly for the treatment of lesions that do not extend laterally into the infratemporal fossa. We report the results of our series of 23 patients with JNA (stage IIB or lower) who underwent transnasal endoscopic resection under hypotensive general anesthesia without preoperative embolization of the tumor All tumors were successfully excised.

- Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign nasopharyngeal tumor, and treatment options are debated, especially for advanced stages.
- In a study of 37 patients, recurrence rates were evaluated in relation to tumor stage and surgical methods, revealing that transpalatal and Lefort I techniques are effective for preventing recurrence in specific stages.
- Higher recurrence rates were associated with intracranial extensions of JNA, while the transpalatal approach showed low recurrence in early-stage cases, and the Lefort I approach worked well for more advanced tumors.
