Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is a rare tumor in adolescent males. This book the first
of its kind devoted to the management of this tumor is based on Dr N. Janakiram's paradigm
shifting management technique for these highly vascular tumors. These tumors have always been a
challenge for skull-base surgeons globally. Classical approaches for managing them comprised
employing the endoscopic approach for small tumors and invasive approaches for large ones. Dr
Janakiram's methodology employs the minimally invasive endoscopic approach for all stages of
these tumors except those which have massive intracranial extensions or have extensions into
the parapharyngeal space which cannot be accessed by the endoscopic technique. In detailing the
new approach this volume also offers a new classification for different stages of these tumors
and explains surgical techniques for managing them. This meets a long-standing requirement as
the classification had remained incomplete because of the lack of adequate number of reported
cases globally. This book authored by some of the pioneers of this field has the following
salient features: Systematic organization of content and wide coverage of topics: from
frequently performed procedures to complex challenging surgeries surgical approaches and
technical maneuvers. Complete explanation of latest endoscopic techniques and optimal
utilization of new technologies. Coverage of all stages of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
based on a new endoscopic staging system. Step-by-step detailing of different types of surgical
procedures with lucid descriptions and vivid high-resolution images and illustrations to aid
comprehension.
