MAXILLARY SWING TECHNIQUE TO LARGE JUVENILE NASOPHARYNGEAL ANGIOFIBROMA

VIGNESH S SANKARAN

Abstract


Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a risky vascular tumor of adolescent males. Choice of the  approach should be based on the stage and site of the lesion. For complete removal of tumor, surgical exposure must be adequate. We here present a case of juvenile   nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with unilateral intraorbital  infratemporal fossa extension in which tumor was completely excised by total maxillary swing approach.
