Computed tomography in the assessment of patients with juvenile post-nasal angiofibroma.
Surgery for juvenile angiofibroma demands a knowledge of tumor size and site, the degree of lateral extension being of particular importance. This study compares information obtained from computed tomography with findings at time of surgery. Computed tomography is found to be a reliable and accurate means of tumor assessment. It is recommended that this should be an essential pre-operative investigation for patients with juvenile angiofibroma.
