Implication of embolization in residual disease in lateral extension of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma

Blog Article

A few studies have reported incomplete resection of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) following embolization.The likely effects of embolization, viz.shrinkage/reduced tensile strength may have increased the fragility of ventilationstejp tumour, leaving remnants postoperatively particularly across hour-glass constriction of sphenopalatine foramina.

This paper describes the likelihood of residual disease being left following embolization and hence the importance of extended surgery omni logic plus for complete excision.
