ABSTRACT
Background: The Otolaryngologist is currently dealing with a dramatic problem the nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The posterolateral wall of the nasal cavity, close to the superior margin of the sphenopalatine foramen, is where the tumor commonly first appeared.Material & Methods:The Otolaryngology & Head Neck Surgery department at Bangabandhu Shiekh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, and Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital in Dhaka undertook this retrospective cross-sectional study. The research was done from February 2012 to November 2012. The study’s overall sample size was 30.Results:The majority of individuals (54%) who have nasopharyngeal angiofibroma are between the ages of 16 and 20. the majority of patients have similar symptoms such epistaxis, nasal blockage, nasal discharge, anemia, and masses in the nasal cavity. At presentation, anaemia is present to various degrees in 90% of cases. The lateral rhinotomy method is employed (40%) more often than other approaches. Three blood units were to be transfused into a maximum of 36.66% of the patients throughout the surgery.Conclusion:Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is currently a difficult issue for otolaryngologists. When endoscopy was used instead of open techniques, we discovered that the mean length of the procedure was shorter, which may be related to endoscopy’s decreased morbidity.
