Article Abstract

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare tumour, comprising 0.05% of the head and neck tumours, histologically benign, locally invasive, and has a specific predilection for nasopharynx and adolescent males. This article presents an unusual case of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in a 45-year-old female patient, manifesting as a destructive maxillary lesion and discusses the two most important factors regarding this tumour, the etio-pathogenesis and spread.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes 12 cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) in young males treated at a hospital between 2015 and 2020, focusing on the effectiveness of endoscopic plasma resection.
  • Preoperative imaging and selective artery embolization were performed, and patients were followed for at least 30 months to monitor outcomes.
  • Results showed clear vision, minimal bleeding, quick recovery, and no tumor recurrence, suggesting that this technique is a safe and effective treatment for JNA.
