Epistaxis is a condition mainly self-limiting or easily treated conservatively, although in rare cases it could become life-threatening. We discuss the case of a 73 year comorbid old woman with severe and recurrent epistaxis treated with superselective catheterism and embolization of the internal maxillary artery. The possible underlying causes, including drug related issues, are discussed.

Abstract
Epistaxis is a condition mainly self-limiting or easily treated conservatively, although in rare cases it could become life-threatening. We discuss the case of a 73 year comorbid old woman with severe and recurrent epistaxis treated with superselective catheterism and embolization of the internal maxillary artery. The possible underlying causes, including drug related issues, are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
