“…:' Recent widespread use of angiographic and computer scanning techniques, however, has allowed more precise definition of the extent of the tumor, as well as increased recognition of the intracranial component. 16,29,23,94 A review of recent cases reported by English,'" Jafek,':' Biller,l Gill, and Krekorian2" indicates that there has been a reversal to Krekorian's earlier discouraging observation that every patient with proven intracranial disease died. Conley pointed out, however, that extensions of the neoplasm into the base of the skull, the apex of the orbit, and the cavernous sinus, or into the optic chiasma, the optic nerves, or the dura, makes the extirpation a much more formidable task.'"…”

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: Management of intracranial extension

et al. 1979

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a histologically benign, locally invasive tumor of the nasopharynx that is found primarily in the pubescent male. While most authors recommend surgical excision for smaller, localized extracranial tumors, opinion varies on the management of more aggressive tumors with intracranial extension. The authors present their experience over the past 15 years with 15 cases of JNA with intracranial extension, and formulate a plan of management. A combined otolaryngologic/neurosurgical approach is recommended in order to assess the extent of the tumor and to isolate feeding vessels. Lateral extension into the middle cranial fossae should be resected in continuity with the nasopharyngeal component, which is approached from below in a separate operative field. Medial extensions are transected, verified angiographically three months after surgery, and irradiated. The results of therapy are presented, and a case of dural penetration by JNA is described.

“…The surgical approach when dealing with these tumors is determined not only by their location, size, and blood supply, but also by the experience and technical skills of the surgeon. Radiotherapy is a commonly accepted treatment protocol for extensive and unresectable NAs [4,29,30,31]. However, radiotherapy of ENAs has only been described in 2 cases.…”

Angiofibromas are rare tumors of the head and neck that mostly occur in the sphenopalatine region. We present a case of angiofibroma in a young male patient with an unusual and extremely rare localization, which to our knowledge has not been described before. It was situated in the tentorium and spread to the supratentorial and infratentorial regions. The patient initially presented with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. After a diagnostic evaluation was done, the whole tumor was successfully removed using the supratentorial and infratentorial approach and the microsurgical technique.
