Epistaxis is a common disorder affecting equally both genders. Posterior origin of epistaxis in some instances requires endovascular treatment. Anastomoses between external carotid artery and internal carotid or ophthalmic arteries heighten the risk of stroke or blindness, if particles of polyvinyl alcohol are used for embolization. We report a case of 90-year-old man for whom successful embolization with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate glue was performed as an alternative treatment for recurrent epistaxis.
鼻出血是一种常见疾病,男女发病率相同。在某些情况下,鼻出血的后鼻孔起源需要进行血管内治疗。如果使用聚乙烯醇颗粒进行栓塞,颈外动脉与颈内动脉或眼动脉之间的吻合会增加中风或失明的风险。我们报告一例90岁男性患者,使用氰基丙烯酸正丁酯胶水成功进行栓塞,作为复发性鼻出血的替代治疗方法。
