[Contribution of radiology to the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal fibroma. Apropos of 6 cases]. / Apport de la radiologie dans le diagnostic et le traitement du fibrome nasopharyngien. A propos de 6 cas.

The authors report about their experience with 6 cases of nasopharyngeal fibroma. They emphasize the interest of CT examinations in the diagnostic study, and above all in the assessment of regional extension. The angiographic study must be as complete as possible, and should include an embolization within 2 to 5 days prior to surgical excision as often as this is possible. Embolization is a simple procedure if performed strictly and carefully in order to avoid any complication.
