Overview

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular neoplasm of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx that classically presents in adolescent boys.

Pathophysiology

Relevant Anatomy

JNA's typically originate in the region of the sphenopalatine artery in the posterior nasal cavity/nasopharynx. From there, they can extend into the paranasal sinuses, pterygopalatine fossa, infratemporal fossa, orbit, or cranial vault.

Imaging

[Text about imaging choices]

There are several classification systems that have been proposed for JNAs based on imaging findings.

Chandler Classification for Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibromas
Classification System Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV Stage V
Andrews (1989)[1] Confined to NP Invading one of the following with evidence of bony erosion: PPF, MS, ES, or SS Invading ITF or orbit
IIIa: No intracranial extension
IIIb: Extradural (parasellar) extension
Intradural extension
IVa: No infiltration of CS, PF, or OC
IVb: Infiltration of CS, PF, or OC
--
Chandler (1984)[2] Confined to NP Extension into the nasal cavity, SS, or both Extension into any of the following: antrum, ES, PMF, ITF, orbit, or cheek Intracranial extension --
Onerci (2006)[3] Nose, NP, ES, and SS or minimal extension into PMF MS involvement, full occupation of PMF, extension to anterior cranial fossa, limited extension into ITF Deep extension into cancellous bone at pterygoid base or body and GW of sphenoid, significant lateral extension into ITF or pterygoid plates, orbital involvement, CS obliteration Intracranial extension between pituitary gland and ICA, tumor localization lateral to ICA, middle fossa extension and extensive intracranial extension --
Radkowski (1996)[4] IA: Confined to nose or NP
IB: extends into one or more sinuses
IIa: minimal extension into medial PMF
IIb: full occupation of PMF with local mass effect
IIc: extension into ITF, cheek, or posterior to pterygoid plates
Erosion of skull base:
IIIa: minimal skull base involvement
IIIb: extensive intracranial extension, with or without invasion into CS
-- --
Sessions (1981)[5] IA: Confined to nose or NP
IB: extends into one or more sinuses
IIa: minimal extension into PMF
IIb: full occupation of PMF with or without orbital erosion
IIc: ITF with or without cheek extension
Intracranial extension -- --
UPMC (2010)[6] Nasal cavity, medial PPF Paranasal sinuses, lateral PPF; no residual vascularity Skull base erosion, orbit, ITF involvement; no residual vascularity Skull base erosion, orbit, ITF involvement; residual vascularity Intracranial extension with residual vascularity
M: medial extension
L: lateral extension
