ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of pingyangmycin injection after selective arterial embolization on the early-stage and recurrent juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.METHODS Twelve cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) were selected to receive digital substraction angiography (DSA) and successfully treated by selective permanent intrarterial embolization.Each case was injected with 12mg pingyanymycin after the embolization every 12 to 20 days,total 4 to 8 times.RESULTS All cases were followed up for at least one year.Six patients were cured or effective, 5 were improved,and one case was no effective. CONCLUSION Pingyangmycin injection combined with selective intrarterial embolization appears to be a safe and effective method in the treatment of early- stage and a part of recurrent juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
