Abstract

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular tumour in the posterior part of the nasopharynx and sphenopalatine foramen. It is rare; its incidence only accounts for 0.05% to 0.5% of all head and neck tumours. Even though it is benign, JNA can be life-threatening because of its very aggressive nature, in which 10-37% of cases invade cranial and orbital.

One case of JNA was reported in a 13-year-old pediatric patient at Prof. Dr. I. G. N. G. Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with a left and trans-palatal midfacial degloving approach, where intraoperatively, a tumour mass that extended to the left nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, ethmoid and left sphenoid was found in the nasopharynx. In this case, we found no postoperative complications. This case is reported to provide information on the management of JNA.
