title: [Magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas].
abstract: This work is based upon the experience in the diagnosis of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JAF) in 14 patients using MR-tomography and routine x-ray examination. In all the patients MR-tomography made it possible to assess the topical position of a tumor, its spreading to the cranial, nasal, accessory sinusal and orbital cavities, and the pterygopalatine and infratemporal spaces. MR-tomographic diagnosis made it possible to differentiate between tumor invasion and inflammatory processes detecting JAF attending tubotitides. However MR-tomography cannot be used alone to assess the status of osseous tissue.
