With their close anatomical relationship, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), mandibular ramus, skull base, ear, and infratemporal fossa make up a complex structure that may collectively be referred to as the 'TMJ and adjacent structures complex' (TASC). This study presents the neoplasms that may be encountered in the TASC region and their classification, which may be useful for the surgical treatment. Data of 1022 consecutive patients treated with resection of TASC neoplasms from May 2000 to October 2022 were reviewed.

Objective: The objective of this study was to discuss the characteristics of intracranial extension in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and propose and an algorithm for its management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with JNA who underwent operations between January 2013 and January 2023 was done, and those cases with intracranial extension categorized as stage IIIb, IVa, and IVb according to the Andrews modification of the Fisch staging classification were included in the study. Data were collected about age at presentation, symptoms, radiological findings, routes of intracranial extension, therapeutic management, and follow-up.
