Abstract
Posterior epistaxis differs from anterior epistaxis only by its position in the nose, which makes direct access to the bleeding vessel difficult. With the aid of a flexible nasopharyngoscope, however, the bleeding point may be identified and cauterized directly. In this preliminary report, 12 consecutive patients admitted for posterior epistaxis were successfully treated by the technique described.
