Abstract
Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare breed of tumour found in adolescent males and there is a paucity of Indian studies on this subject. This is a retrospective observational study of JNA patients who presented at the V.S.S. Medical College and Hospital, Burla, Odisha between October 2009 and September 2012. Total 3953 cases of mass in head and neck region were presented at our department during that period. Out of those there were 17 cases of JNA. The incidences, age and sex distribution, symptoms and management approaches were recorded. The mean age at presentation was 16.94years. The surgical approaches used were endoscopic endonasal approach and lateral rhinotomy approach. The recurrence rate was 35.3%.
