Two cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma are discussed. The importance of pre-operative embolisation of this vascular tumour is emphasised as an important addition to the surgical treatment of the lesion.

OBJECTIVE: To report the loss of reflex tearing after surgical treatment of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A retrospective case series of 8 patients with surgical extirpation of JNA from 1995 to 2003 in a major teaching hospital setting was studied for symptomatic xerophthalmia. RESULTS: One patient was lost to follow-up. Four of the remaining 7 patients reported a dry ipsilateral eye after surgical treatment of JNA. CONCLUSION: The location of the pterygopalatine ganglion and its associated fibers in the pterygopalatine fossa is directly adjacent to the location of origin of JNA. Lacrimal innervation passes through the pterygopalatine ganglion. Given the extensive nature of advanced JNA and mandate for complete surgical excision, lacrimal dysfunction should be considered an expected consequence of surgery. SIGNIFICANCE: The loss of reflex tearing has not been reported as a consequence of JNA or its surgical treatment. EBM Rating: C.

Object The purpose of this study was to describe the surgical treatment and outcomes of patients with intracranial extension of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). Methods Twenty-one patients who underwent operations for JNAs between 1994 and 2008 were enrolled in the study. Seven patients (33%) had intracranial tumor extension. The middle cranial fossa and cavernous sinus were involved in 4 patients who underwent operations via the combined infratemporal fossa-midfacial degloving approach. The anterior skull base was involved in 3 patients who underwent the subcranialmidfacial degloving approach. Results Complete tumor removal was achieved in all patients. Postoperative complications included 1 case of soft-tissue infection. None of the patients had tumor recurrence after a mean follow-up of 42 months (range 29–85 months). No adjuvant therapy was required in any patient. Conclusions Combined approaches can be used effectively for treatment of JNAs with intracranial extension without the need for adjuvant therapy.
