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 carlsbad crush may have increased the fragility of 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 macaron gel nail kit importance of extended surgery for complete excision.
