True bilateral nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: report and review

Authors: Anupam Mishra, Subhash Chandra Mishra

Published in: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology | Issue 10/2016

Abstract

This report describes the third case of a true bilateral Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), i.e. two separate JNA arising from both sides simultaneously. The associated multiple recurrences in such a case have not yet been reported. A 21-year-man underwent transpalatal excision and recurred twice. The last ‘neo-occurrence’ encountered after 2 years was at a different site and was subsequently managed by post-embolization endoscopic resection. A complete report of its clinico-radiological features and management outcome is discussed.
