Abstract EN
Juvenile angiofibroma is a rare benign lesion originating from the pterygopalatine fossa with distinctive epidemiologic features and growth patterns.
The typical patient is an adolescent male with a clinical history of recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction.
Although the use of nonsurgical therapies is described in the literature, surgery is currently considered the ideal treatment for juvenile angiofibroma.
Refinement in preoperative embolization has provided significant reduction of complications and intraoperative bleeding with minimal risk of residual disease.
During the last decade, an endoscopic technique has been extensively adopted as a valid alternative to external approaches in the management of small-intermediate size juvenile angiofibromas.
Herein, we review the evolution in the management of juvenile angiofibroma with particular reference to recent advances in diagnosis and treatment.
