The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the haemostatic efficacy of fibrin sealant in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease suffering epistaxis. A retrospective observational study of patients with HHT who were admitted to an emergency room
We report a case of impossible ventilation in a patient with severe nasal bleeding. A 47-year-old man with intractable nasal bleeding was scheduled for emergent hemostasis under general anesthesia. He also had alcohol-related cirrhosis and was highly obese (165 cm, 93 kg). Although he sufficiently
Twenty-two patients with recurrent nose bleeds and varicose vessels on the nasal septum were subjected to transection of the vessels and followed-up for 2 years. One month after the operation, it was not possible to identify the original vessels. In other locations new varicose vessels began to
Ten days after left-sided external carotid artery ligation for control of profuse epistaxis a complete left-sided facial nerve palsy developed in a 25-year-old male. Abnormal bleeding or clotting disorders had been excluded. It is postulated that either thrombosis or embolus obstructed the petrosal
Two patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and moderate chronic renal failure experienced a worsening of glycaemic control when recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) was introduced, leading to insulin therapy. A 71-year-old woman with a 20-year history of NIDDM had
The patient with long history of alcohol was admitted because of intermittent right nasal bleeding for two days,and treated by nasal packing. After 3 days,the patient exhibited auditory hallucinations and immediately showed rage, mania, sweating and fever. CT examination showed calcification in the
Rosai-Dorfman disease (sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, SHML) is a rare, non-hereditary, benign histiocytic proliferative disorder, presenting as painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, with systemic symptoms. Extra nodal manifestations have been reported in 28-43 % cases with
A 52-year-old man with recurrent epistaxis and palpebral conjunctival telangiectasia visited our hospital for a follow-up checkup for gastrointestinal polyposis. At 48 years of age, he underwent Y-graft replacement for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was detected in
BACKGROUND
We present a rare complication of trans-sphenoidal adenectomy (TSA) for pituitary macroadenoma: carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) that was treated with endovascular therapy. The incidence of internal carotid artery (ICA) injury following TSA is 1% and may spontaneously heal by packing and
Our study was made to prove the second-generation surgical fibrin sealant Quixil to be an effective substitute for nasal packing, chemical coagulation and cautery in management of patients with epistaxis. Our series includes 204 patients with anterior epistaxis (186), and with posterior epistaxis
Nasal hemorrhage remains a challenging clinical problem due to the high prevalence of this pathology that frequently recurs and leads to serious deterioration of the patient's condition. This paper deals with modern therapeutic modalities used to stop and control nasal bleeding. The authors proposed
Pituitary tumour have a wide way of presentation. Epistaxis due to pituitary adenoma has been rarely reported. There is no report of bleeding from nose as clinical first presentation in a child. We report the first case in literature where a child had epistaxis for eight months before deterioration
A 73-year-old female patient who had received a liver and kidney transplantation presented with symptomatic pancytopenia and right-sided upper abdominal pain. The histological investigation of a bone marrow biopsy showed the extremely rare manifestation of a disseminated Merkel cell carcinoma with
Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is a rare but major complication of severe head injuries. This pathological communication between the internal carotid artery and the surrounding cavernous sinus at the base of the skull may result in marked retinopathy, optic atrophy with permanent loss of vision,
Aging in the nasal tissues produces anatomical and physiological changes in the elderly. The elderly have a generalized decrease in body water content of 7%, and with the degeneration of mucus-secreting cells, the effectiveness of the mucociliary system is reduced with frequent symptoms of nasal
