ABSTRACT

We present here the incidence of Nasopharynx Juvenile Angiofibroma in two large hospitals in Mexico city, The General Hospital of Mexico, and the Infantile Hospital “Federico Gómez” during the period between August 1994 until August 1998. We had 64 young male with this diagnosis. The diagnosis was made out by CT and just in one with MRI. Because of the characteristics of our Institutions, both large Hospitals in the largest city in the world, our frequency is very high. The porpoise of this report is to show how the diagnosis was made, the clinical features and the presurgical embolization with the result obtain after these interventional procedure, during the surgical approach.
