Endoscopic Approach to Fisch Stage II to III-b Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) are locally growing highly vascular tumours treated primarily by surgical excision (open approach as wide as a mid facial degloving or endoscopic approach). All our patients underwent exclusive endoscopic tumour excision after a pre-operative embolisation. The tumours were completely resected with acceptable blood loss and no recurrences or residual masses were seen. Post-operative morbidity was minimal without external scar-marks. To conclude endoscopic excision is a very effective method to resect JNA even for extensive tumours.
