Endoscopic laser-assisted excision of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas.
BACKGROUND Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are highly vascular tumors that originate in the nasopharynx of young males. The primary treatment is surgical excision. Traditional surgical approaches are associated with significant morbidity and facial deformity. We introduce and outline the clinical advantages of an endoscopic surgical approach to JNAs using the Nd:YAG laser with imag...
متن کاملEndoscopic removal of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas: a video presentation.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Juvenile nasal angiogibroma (JNA) is a relatively rare, benign neoplasm generally seen in prepubertal and adolescent males. In the past, surgical management included lateral rhinotomy, transpalatal and transmaxillary routes, and midface degloving approaches. Endoscopic approaches have become the treatment of choice, especially for tumors limited by size and location criter...
متن کاملEmbolization of epistaxis and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas.
This article reviews arterial embolization of epistaxis and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas. A protocol for the complete and rapid exploration of epistaxis is suggested that is based upon which arteries providing blood to the nasal fossa may be responsible for the bleeding and the most optimal way for their demonstration and evaluation. The relevant anatomy of the major arteries, their br...
متن کاملEndoscopic Endonasal Transturbinate Approach to the Pterygopalatine Fossa in the Management of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibromas
Pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a difficult-to-access anatomic area located behind the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) often affects this area, and the management of feeding artery to the tumor is important in the surgery. Endoscopic endonasal approach to the PPF without endangering all other nasal structures is useful in the management of JNA. W...
متن کاملParticular aspects in endoscopic surgery for juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas. Case reports and review of literature.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNA) are rare, benign, highly vascular tumors which appear in proximity to the sphenopalatine foramen. The tumor arises most commonly in adolescent males suggesting that in could be hormonally responsive. Although it is histologically benign, it has a high destructive potential and a high grade of recurrence. It is a fibrous vascular tumor with vascular so...
