A 21-year-old Palestinian woman experienced recurrent hematemesis and melena over 7 months, requiring multiple hospital admissions and blood transfusions. Despite extensive investigations, the bleeding source remained undetermined until a posterior nasal bleed was suspected. Flexible rhinoscopy revealed a dilated sphenopalatine artery, and she was successfully treated with endovascular intervention. It is important for the Gastroenterologists to consider nasal endoscopy for patients with unexplained UGIB.
一名21岁的巴勒斯坦女性在7个月内反复出现呕血和黑便,需要多次住院并输血。尽管进行了广泛的检查,但出血源一直未明确,直到怀疑是鼻后出血。鼻内镜检查发现蝶腭动脉扩张,她通过血管内介入治疗成功治愈。对于不明原因上消化道出血的患者,胃肠病学家考虑进行鼻内镜检查很重要。
