Abstract

A majority of the population will experience epistaxis at some time in their life. Most cases will be from an anterior source and can be treated with pressure, anterior nasal packing, or cautery. Intractable epistaxis is generally posterior in origin and may require endoscopic cauterization, posterior packing, ligation of external carotid artery or embolization. Here we report a case of bilateral posterior epistaxis in a 41 year old male patient with c/o spontaneous epistaxis from bilateral nostril. Digital Subtraction Angiography followed by Angioembolisation was done.
