Abstract
A 17βyearβold male with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma was found, on preoperative evaluation, to have a normal selective angiogram of the internal and external carotid artery system. Possible explanations for this variant include and atypical blood supply from the vertebral artery system, the thyrocervical trunks, or from an ascending pharyngeal artery that branched low from the external carotid artery.

## Abstract Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign neoplasm of the nasopharynx that accounts for 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. Although histologically benign in appearance, JNAs are locally aggressive and destructive, spreading from the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx, para
## Abstract ## Objectives: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, benign tumor of the nasopharynx, exclusively affecting males in their teens and twenties. Historically, it has been thought that JNAs primarily receive their blood supply from the ipsilateral external carotid system.
## Objectives Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a intranasal vascular tumor that has traditionally been resected through open craniofacial approaches. Recently, however, such tumors have been successfully resected via endoscopic approaches in part due to the use of preoperative embolization.
