Angiofibromas are caused by a local overgrowth of collagen, fibroblasts, and blood vessels. Angiofibromas may be approached directly using the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA). This state-of-the-art, minimally invasive approach allows surgeons to access the tumor through the natural corridor of the nose, without making an open incision.
The age range for this disease is 7 to 19 years old, with most people being diagnosed between 10 and 19 years old.
Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is the most well-known harmless cancer of the nasopharynx, yet has a generally low rate. It represents just 0.5 percent of all head and neck cancers.
However being harmless, it frequently acts in a dangerous way by disintegrating into the encompassing sinuses, circle, or cranial vault.
