case_images: The exploration was completed by MRI of the facial mass (Figure 2, Figure 3) which revealed the presence of an ethmoidonasal tumour process measuring 70x50x40 mm, heterogeneous with a double cystic and fleshy component, extending into the right maxillary sinus and the homolateral para-pharyngeal space, with extra-axial intracranial extension in the right temporal region.
case_images: the patient's angio-MRI showing the tumour blush and feeder pedicles, indicating the hyper-vascularization of this tumour (the angiofibroma) as shown by the blue arrows

case_images: We were able to keep the tolerance doses of organs at risk such as the optic chiasma, optic nerves, retina, pituitary and parotids within normal limits and at the same time deliver the intended dose of radiation to the tumor site (Figure 4, Figure 5).
case_images: three plans view of the conformity of the prescribed dose to the target volume in blue as shown by the blue arrows and the respect of the organs at risk as shown by the red arrows (right eye, brain stem, cerebellum and right parotid gland)
