Surgical Experience with Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma

Our experience with 18 cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (jna) over a period of 9 years is discussed. All cases were managed surgically: 17 via a transpalatal approach and one case by a combined transpalatal, lateral rhinotomy, and transantral approach. In this series there were two recurrences following primary surgical procedures and these required a second procedure. There were no major complications and all 18 patients are alive. We believe that surgical excision should be the treatment of choice for jna and that radiotherapy should be used adjunctively for cases wherein intracranial extension of the tumors prevents total excision.
