ABSTRACT
Our experience with 19 cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) over a period of 10 years is discussed. All cases are managed with combined modalities which include pre-operative hormonal therapy, radiotherapy and/or surgical resection via transpalatal approach. All patients became asymptomatic with these treatment modalities. The use of combined modalities of treatment is advocated so as to achieve decreased intraoperative blood loss and cure, a reality.
