Analyzing the results of examination of 14 boys aged 6 to 13 years who had angiofibromas of the skull base has led to the conclusion that the disease runs in the presence of the markedly activated sympathoadrenal and pituitary-adrenal systems and lipid oxidation products. While choosing a therapy, it is necessary to take into account hormonally metabolic and antioxidative imbalance and to prescribe metabolic and membrane-stabilizing drugs.
