Summary:INTRODUCTION: Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is a rare tumour affecting young adults. This is a case series of five cases operated at Govt. General Hospital (GGH), Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five cases of JNA operated at GGH, Guntur from 2009to 2011 are presented. All patients were adolescent males and complained of epistaxis and nasal block. They were evaluated pre operatively by angiography and embolized. Four patients were treated by lateral rhinotomy and one by endoscopic approach. RESULTS: All patients were treated successfully with minimal intra op and post op complications. Bleeding was less due to pre op embolization of all the cases. CONCLUSION: Pre-operative embolization has resulted in less complications and success rate of surgery is also good.
