Abstract
Juvenile angiofibroma is a rare, benign, hypervascular, nasopharyngeal tumour. The aim of the study was to assess the value of CT and MR in determining therapeutic approach and follow-up in patients with this condition. There were 40 patients with juvenile angiofibroma. All patients underwent angiography. In 24 patients CT and 5 patients MRI was performed. Most patients (67%) presented with tumour stage III according to Chandler. Preoperative tumour staging based on CT was in accordance with surgical evaluation in 92% of cases. In 4 (17%) of 24 patients CT and MRI showed a recurrence after surgery. On the bases of radiological findings 2 patients were referred to irradiation instead of surgery. CT allows correct tumour staging in 92% of patients. It well demonstrates the presence and extension of the recurrence.
