Fourteen endonasal endoscopic operations for vascular tumors of the paranasal sinuses, mainly of stage II-III, were performed in 1997-2006. In one case intraoperative navigation was used. Preoperative angiography was made in 4 patients with a definite diagnosis of hemangioma. Out of them, in three cases preoperative embolisation of the afferent vessel was conducted; apparent vascular bed in tumor stroma was not found. Follow-up from 1 to 8 years registered no further growth of the tumor in patients operated endoscopically.
