Efficacy of conservative treatment modalities used in epistaxis

Objective  To assess the efficacy of conservative modalities in the management of epistaxis. Study design  Prospective case studies. Setting  Rural medical college hospital. Patients  Indoor and outdoor patients with epistaxis. lntervention  Conservative(non surgical) management techniques in epistaxis. Results  Chemical cauterization was successful in 72.07% cases, anterior nasal packing in 84.5% and posterior nasal packing in 95.6% cases. Conclusion  Out of 300 cases of epistaxis included in the study (except for one case that required internal maxillary artery ligation). all cases were treated successfully with conservative treatment alongwith treating the underlying pathology causing epistaxis.     

选择性颈外动脉栓塞治疗鼻出血

目的 探讨选择性颈外动脉栓塞治疗鼻出血的方法、疗效及并发症。方法 对26例鼻腔填塞失败的鼻出血患者行27次超选择性颈外动脉分支栓塞治疗。结果27次超选择性颈外动脉分支栓塞全部成功，达到止血目的，无一例出现严重并发症。结论 选择性颈外动脉栓塞治疗严重鼻出血，疗程短、痛苦小、成功率高、临床效果显著，是安全有效的治疗方法。     

Petrous internal carotid aneurysm causing epistaxis: balloon embolization with preservation of the parent vessel

Summary A patient with severe, recurrent posterior epistaxis was shown at angiography to have an aneurysm of the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Since childhood, she had had pain related to eustachian tube blockage by the aneurysm. An endovascular balloon embolization of the aneurysm was successful with preservation of the parent artery. The treatment resulted in resolution of the symtpoms. The report confirms the usefulness of an angiographic protocol in evaluating vascular problems.     

严重鼻衄行颌内动脉栓塞术并发脑梗塞死亡

报道１例严重鼻衄伴高血压、动脉硬化患者，经常规方法止血无效，行患侧颌内动脉超选择性栓塞术。术后鼻出血停止，但出现脑梗塞、昏迷，经抢救无效，于术后第９天死亡。认为对有动脉硬化的患者，应不用或慎用超选择性动脉栓塞术。     

止血灵滴剂治疗鼻出血的疗效观察

止血灵(暂定名)是由尖吻腹蛇(Deina Agkistrodon acutus)蛇毒分离提取得到的一种类凝血酶组分,具有明显的促凝(止血)作用,我科自1992年10月～1993年10月使用广州蛇毒研究所与广州医学院血液学研究     

Giant infectious intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm presenting as intractable epistaxis

Infectious intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms usually present with ophthalmoplegia and/or signs of cavernous sinus thrombosis. We report an unusual case in which a patient with AIDS presented with intractable epistaxis secondary to rupture of a giant infectious intra-cavernous carotid artery aneurysm. Culture of the aneurysm grew mycobacterium avium intracellulare (MAI). The patient was treated successfully by excision of the aneurysm and reconstruction of the internal carotid artery with a saphenous vein interposition graft.     

鼻内窥镜下射频治疗顽固性鼻出血的探讨（附30例报告）

目的:探讨鼻内窥镜下射频治疗顽固性鼻出血的效果。方法：应用鼻内窥镜找到出血部位,再用射频治疗仪热凝止血。结果：30例顽固性鼻出血病人均治愈。结论：鼻内窥镜下射频治疗顽固性鼻出血具有定位准确,安全有效,病人痛苦少,并发症少的优点, 值得推广。     

凝血酶烧伤膏治疗血液病鼻衄的临床观察

目的 为探讨血液病鼻衄的理想处理方法。方法 对２３例治疗组患者采用浸有凝血酶２０００Ｉｕ／ｍｌ的明胶海绵局部敷贴出血点,３～４日后用烧伤膏创面换药;３４例对照组采用凡士林纱条填塞止血。结果 治疗组有效率８６．９％,显效率６９．７％;对照组分别是５８．５％和３５．３％。两种方法有显著性差异（Ｐ〈０．０１）。结论 用凝血酶敷贴出血点及创面烧伤膏换药是治疗血液病鼻衄一种安全、有效的方法。     

Internal maxillary artery ligation for idiopathic intractable epistaxis

Epistaxis though common, is rarely life threatening. Routinely nose pinching, anterior find posterior nasal packing and endoscopic cauterization of bleeding points is sufficient to control epistaxis in 99% of the cases. It is mandatory to rule out local and systemic causes before labeling a case as idiopathic by using a battery of investigative modalities. Here are two interesting cases of epistaxis which did not respond to conventional therapeutic modalities in which transantral internal maxillary artery ligation was attempted leading to complete cure.
