The irrigation of the upper third of the nasal fossa is supplied by the anterior ethmoidal artery. We describe a surgical technique to deal with epistaxis due to anterior ethmoidal artery bleeding.
From January 2006 to March 2010 transcaruncular coagulation of the anterior ethmoidal artery was done on nine patients with epistaxis of the upper third of the nasal fossa.
The procedure was successful on all cases. No bleeding relapse, major complications, or nasal or orbital sequelae were present in any of the patients.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: Transcaruncular electrocoagulation of the anterior ethmoidal artery is a safe and effective technique to deal with upper third nasal fossa bleeding.
鼻上部的冲洗由筛前动脉供应。我们描述了一种处理因筛前动脉出血引起的鼻出血的手术技术。
从 2006 年 1 月至 2010 年 3 月,对 9 例鼻上部鼻出血患者进行了经泪囊前筛动脉电凝。
所有病例均手术成功。无出血复发、严重并发症或鼻或眶后遗症。
讨论/结论:经泪囊前筛动脉电凝是处理鼻上部出血的一种安全有效的技术。
