Abstract

Juvenile angiofibromas are benign, highly vascular lesions that are found in young male patients with an incidence of approximately 1: 150,000. They are thought to arise from a residual vascular plexusin the pterygopalatine fossa at the aperture of the pterygoid canal, as a remnant of the involution of the first branchial arch artery. Juvenile angiofibromas remain challenging to treat. Early staged disease can be adequately treated by endoscopic approaches and with increasing experience, even higher staged disease has been shown to be resectable
