It has been locally aggressive and destructive that affects almost exclusively male, especially on teens.The diagnosis has done by clinical examination and radiography, but incisional biopsy is contraindicated due to risk of bleeding with difficult control. The recommended approach has been a wide surgical excision with radiotherapy being reserved for cases of recurrence and tumor vasculature with unusual or extensive intracranial extension. The surgical approaches used for resection of these tumors include the approach transmaxillary (le fort I), transnasal, transpalatal, combined endoscopic and others. The paper addresses a case report, listing the aspects of the interest of Le Fort I osteotomy, advantages and disadvantages in the treatment of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
