Abstract
Intractable epistaxis is an otolaryngological emergency condition with high morbidity and potential mortality, which warrants urgent attention and intervention.Different methods of treatment are available including nasal packing, cauterization, artery ligation & embolisation. We report 3 cases that underwent selective angioembolization after failure of the conventional methods of nasal packing and cautery to the bleeding areas under general anaesthesia. They all received blood transfusion. Post procedure they made a quick recovery and were discharged with no complications.
