angiofibroma/edema

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a well-described but rare benign tumor that mainly affects adolescent boys. Although it is capable of extravagant local extension and tissue destruction, the tumor is amenable to effective therapy. Ocular or visual complications have been little noted in the

BACKGROUND Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder with hamartomas in multiple organ systems. Facial angiofibromas (AF) are a common cutaneous manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. They may lead to significant cosmetic and psychological problems. Many treatment modalities have been used

The role of preoperative embolization in alleviating intra operative haemorrhage in small to medium sized JNA is dubious. We report an unusual case of JNA who developed cerebral edema, hemiplegia and aphasia following glue embolisation and underwent frontotemporal craniectomy. This drastic aftermath

An 11-year-old boy with a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma developed optic disc pallor in one eye and optic disc edema in the other eye (Foster Kennedy Syndrome [FKS]). The mechanism was believed to be bilateral, asymmetric optic nerve compression. Review of the 36 previously reported cases of

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant disease that affects the brain, skin, eye, heart and kidney. The diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have recently been revised. There are relatively few Indian studies on this disorder. Twenty-six patients diagnosed as having TS

Midfacial degloving can be characterized as an alternative surgical approach for exposing the bony structures of the midface. In combination with transient partial osteotomies the nasal cavities, the paranasal sinuses, the pterygopalatine fossa and the posterior parts of the anterior skull base are

Nasal polyps are semi-translucent mucosal outgrowths of the paranasal sinuses which typically arise in the setting of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Nasal polyps are also associated with asthma, aspirin sensitivity, cystic fibrosis and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFS). The majority of nasal

BACKGROUND A lot has changed in terms of intervention technique, indications and embolic agents since Duggan introduced embolization to management of postraumatic epistaxis in 1970. Embolization is used in treatment of spontaneous and traumatic epistaxis, palliative tumors and vascular defects, as
