CONTEMPORARY VIEWS ABOUT THE JUVENILE ANGIOFIBROMA OF SKULL BASE

The various specialists (ENT doctors, oncologists, radiologists, etc.), not the first decade have been engaged with the problem of juvenile angiofibroma of skull base (JASB). JASB is a benign tumor, which refers to soft tissue tumors. Such manifestations of JASB, as rapid destructive growth, lack of nasal breathing, frequent debilitating bleeding, and relapse tendency, allow associating this disease with malignant tumors. In the early stages of development, the diagnosis of JASB presents certain difficulties, as the tumor is characterized by non-specific signs. So, in the early stages of the disease patients are often treated for rhinosinusitis, adenoiditis, with extensive use of physiotherapy, which in turn leads to rapid progression of the process. Despite the rapid progress of medicine, still, prevention issues, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with JASB remains unresolved. In the review, as far as possible highlighted the important aspects of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of patients with this pathology.

Keywords: Juvenile angiofibroma, juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, benign tumor, the skull base, surgical treatment, nasopharynx.
