ABSTRACT

Epistaxis is a common medical condition. Although most cases resolve spontaneously, some are complex and may require specialist intervention, such as surgery or embolization. Here, we present a case of intractable epistaxis following a failure of arterial ligation. On investigation the epistaxis was determined to arise from a pseudoaneurysm of sphenopalatine artery and treated by embolization. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2009;20:243-246)
