Abstract
- Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a histologically benign, but clinically troublesome neoplasm occurring in adolescent males. This neoplasm is a basically otolaryngeal disease, but at times makes problem in neurosurgical department because of intracranial extension. This neoplasm is diagnosed by history, clinical feature, cerebral angiography, and C.T. scan. But at present time there remains controversy in adjunctive surgical therapy and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of this tumor. In spite of controversy in treatment, in the case of intracranial extension, many authors agree that the treatment of choice is radiation therapy. We experienced a case of nasopharyngeal angiofiboma with intracranial extension which occurred in female patient treated with radiation therapy.
