Traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of blunt trauma. It is even more rare when it presents as epistaxis. Massive epistaxis of a ruptured intracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a major cause of mortality, which requires emergency intervention. We report a case of traumatic intracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to skull base fractur...

Epistaxis can be life threatening and may not respond to conventional conservative measures such as packing. In our institution, between 1984 and 1991, we have treated 65 patients with embolization who had epistaxis that did not stop with nasal packing, with a success rate of 90%. This case report illustrates an unusual example of epistaxis due to a right frontal arteriovenous malformation (A V...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Endonasal endoscopic surgery continues to gain acceptance as a minimally invasive, effective approach for benign and malignant pathology of the paranasal sinuses and skull base. Postoperative epistaxis could potentially result in rapid and devastating consequences due to hemorrhage. Our objective was to assess the incidence and causes of epistaxis after endoscopic skull base sur...

Fuzzy expert system has shown a remarkable system for building of intelligent decision making systems based on expert’s knowledge and observations. This work presents an approach for the treatment of patients on the basis of fuzzy rules applied on symptoms that seen in patient. For the identification of disease Epistaxis, firstly fuzzy rules applied based on the symptoms selected by the patient...

INTRODUCTION Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, is an autosomal dominant bleeding disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations and multiple telangiectasia affecting the skin, abdominal viscera, and mucosa. It affects approximately one in 5,000 to 8,000 people and presents with severe recurrent epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and ...

UNLABELLED Epistaxis is a common clinical condition and in most public hospitals these patients received nasal packing and were admitted to the hospital as initial management strategies. However, little is known about the follow-up of these patients after they leave the hospital. AIM To identify the clinical outcome of patients treated for epistaxis following discharge. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

This study investigated if environmental factors had an effect on the incidence of epistaxis related to exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) among racehorses in southern Africa. Data covering the period 1986-2001 and involving 778 532 race runs were analysed. This included the following information: date of race, age, sex, name of breeder, trainer, distance, jockey, state of going, wei...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a disease characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectasias and visceral arteriovenous malformations. The genetic mutations that cause this disease result in elevated levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, which is inhibited by bevacizumab. Previous studies have shown bevacizumab treatment to be effective in reducing symptoms, but study protoco...

Introduction: Epistaxis is the most common otorhinolaryngological emergency. Whether there an association relationship between epistaxis and hypertension a subject of longstanding controversy. Objective: The aim our study to evaluate hypertension. Materials methods: This was conducted at,U.P during period June 2016 January 2017. A total 40 patients were divided into two groups: Group consisted ...
