Lateral orbital/anterior midfacial degloving approach for nasopharyngeal angiofibromas with cavernous sinus extension.
A case of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma removed through a modified lateral approach for an infratemporal fossa resection is reported. This modification involved removing the bone of the lateral orbital apex and posterior middle fossa to expose the dura and periorbita and, when combined with a midfacial degloving approach, provided full access to the tumor abutting the cavernous sinus extradurally while preserving middle ear function.
