Orbital involvement by nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
This article describes a rare cause of orbital apex syndrome in a child--juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. A high level of suspicion while treating an adolescent male with chronic nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and a nasal mass will promote early diagnosis. Multidisciplinary care is advisable, especially for advanced disease.
