  • Title: Combined endoscopic endonasal and sublabial transmaxillary approaches for resection of intracranially extended juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
    Author: Marshall C, Agosti E, Peris-Celda M, Pinheiro-Neto CD.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2023 Jul; 165(7):1773-1780. PubMed ID: 37280419.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are rare, benign, and locally invasive nasopharyngeal tumors. Endoscopic endonasal resection is effective, non-invasive, with low complication rates. Until recently, endoscopic resection was not suitable for intracranially invasive tumors. PURPOSE/METHOD: We describe resection steps of an intracranially extending JNA with a combined endoscopic endonasal and endoscopic-assisted sublabial transmaxillary approaches. Indications, advantages, and approach-specific complications are also discussed. The main surgical steps are shown in an operative video. CONCLUSION: Surgical excision of JNAs by a combined endoscopic endonasal and sublabial transmaxillary approaches represents a safe and effective treatment for selected intracranially invasive JNA.
