Abstract: | We report the case of a 22-year-old male who presented a diferred, recurrent and severe epistaxis after nasal trauma which required several admissions in our hospital and different treatments. Concretely by chronological order it has been practiced anterior tamponades, endoscopic ligature-cauterization of the sphenopalatine artery, classic posterior packing and finally a new FENS with cauterization of anterior ethmoidal artery. Besides it was necessary a transfusion to go up the anemia suffered by the patient whose global stay was 16 days. Recurrent postraumatic epistaxis are very rare but can be represent a difficult problem to solve. |
