Abstract
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a hypervascular, blood-supplied, benign tumour affecting the sinuses, nasal cavity, nasopharynx and the base of the skull. For intraoperative hemostasis, pre-operative embolism is a common and recommended procedure, but it has serious disadvantages, such as additional radiation exposure, anesthesia, and the risk of iatrogenic complications associated with the occlusion of the central artery of the retina, orbital and middle cerebral arteries. This article presents a report on successful radical removal of the widespread SAS without resorting to preoperative embolization, but with intraoperative transnazal endoscopic clipping of the internal maxillary artery (IMA).
