title: [Hemangiopericytoma of the infratemporal fossa of nasopharyngeal manifestation. Value of the cervico-transoral approach].
abstract: Authors present one case of hemangiopericytoma of the infra-temporal fossa and the lateral wall of the nasopharynx. They describe the characteristics of this rare, recurrent and sometime malignant vascular tumor. The selected therapy is an aggressive and wide exeresis. The antero-inferior approach via the cervico-trans-oral route would seem to be of particular interest, offering good exposure of the anatomical features of the region avoiding the parotid bed ans dissection of the facial nerve.
