[Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma images with intracranial extension]

Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign, highly vascular, nasopharyngeal tumour. It causes the erosion of bony structures of the skull base and extends into nose, paranasal sinuses, pterygo-pallatine fossa and infratemporal fossa. In some patients intracranial invasion is present. Authors presented three cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with intracranial extension treated in their centre. The clinical details of these cases and discuss the problems related to the diagnosis and management of this pathology were described.
