Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a highly vascular tumor of young males. Surgical excision remains the principal modality of treatment. Tumors with intracranial extension may require major surgical resections which are not devoid of complications. We here present a case of JNA with massive intracranial extension with postsurgery huge skull base defect with resultant encephalocele which was repaired successfully using rectus abdominis free flap.
