Abstract
in English, Russian

The authors report a clinical case of successful elimination of a recurrent juvenile angiofibroma at the base of the skull (JAFBS) with the application of the optical navigation system and a cold plasma scalpel in the absence of preoperative embolization. It has been demonstrated using the proposed transperygoid approach to the extirpation of the tumour that a recurrent juvenile angiofibroma at the base of the skull can be efficiently removed by means of a modern minimally invasive and at the same time radical surgical method.

Описано клиническое наблюдение эффективного удаления рецидива ювенильной ангиофибромы основания черепа (ЮАОЧ) с использованием оптической навигационной системы и холодно-плазменного скальпеля без предоперационной эмболизации. Транскрыловидный эндоскопический доступ демонстрирует возможность хирургического лечения рецидива ЮАОЧ, обеспечивая одновременно малоинвазивность и радикальность.

Keywords: CT-assisted navigation; angiofibroma; base of the skull; endoscopic removal; transperygoid approach.
