| Abstract: | ![]()
Rupture of the internal carotid artery (ICA) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a rare complication, which can potentially result in death. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature thus far. We present four cases with an ICA bleeding during sphenoidotomy. The treatment is discussed and an emergency plan to manage the heavy arterial bleeding is presented. |
