[Text about imaging choices]

There are several classifications for JNAs based on imaging findings.

Chandler Classification for Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibromas
Stage Description
I Tumor confined to the nasopharynx
II Tumor extension into the nasal cavity, sphenoid sinus, or both
III Tumor extension into one or more of the following: antrum, ethmoid sinus, pterygomaxillary or infratemporal fossa, orbit, or cheek
IV Intracranial extension

The UPMC classification system is slightly different from the Chandler system:
