At Rainbow Children's Hospital in Vizag, specialized care is offered for Angiofibroma in children. Angiofibromas are benign, vascular tumors that commonly occur in the nasal cavity and often manifest as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, or facial pain. Treatment for angiofibroma typically involves a multidisciplinary approach considering its location and potential complications.
Upon diagnosis, the medical team at Rainbow Children's Hospital conducts a comprehensive evaluation, which may include imaging studies such as CT scans or MRI scans to precisely assess the size and location of the tumor. Treatment options may vary based on the tumor's size, location, and potential risks.
One of the common approaches is endoscopic surgery, which involves removing the tumor through the nasal passage using specialized instruments. This minimally invasive technique aims to remove the tumor while preserving surrounding healthy tissues and minimizing postoperative complications. Additionally, embolization may be recommended before surgery to reduce bleeding during the procedure by blocking the tumor's blood supply.
In some cases, larger or complex tumors might require more extensive surgical procedures or radiation therapy to ensure complete removal or manage any residual tissue. Rainbow Children's Hospital provides access to state-of-the-art equipment and experienced specialists to ensure comprehensive care tailored to the child's needs.
Rainbow Children's Hospital stands as a testament to the hospital's continual pursuit of excellence and innovation, providing specialized care for women and children.
