title: [Current therapy of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma].
abstract: The nasopharyngeal angiofibrom continues sometimes to challenge the otolaryngologists because of the difficult radical surgery owing to the deep anchorage of the tumor in the base of the skull. In these cases, when possible, the embolization followed by surgery or the radiotherapy are the two better treatments. Without embolization, radiotherapy must be preferred because of the life threatening surgery that cannot eradicate the tumor.
