Surgical and radiation treatment outcomes are available for 46 patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). Recurrences occurred in 17 (37%) of 44 operated patients. They were subjected to reoperation or radiotherapy. The latter is indicated in JNA recurrences, large-size tumors which are hard to approach, cranial cavity invasion. Immediate results of the treatment are favorable.
