Transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery (IMAX) is a well-described option for surgical management of posterior epistaxis not controlled by anterior and posterior packing. Advocates for this procedure argue that it reduces the morbidity, length of hospital stay and financial cost
BACKGROUND
Intractable posterior epistaxis sometimes requires intensive treatment, such as surgery or embolization. Maxillary artery ligation has been widely used for the treatment of intractable posterior epistaxis. It is highly effective, but significant complications may occur, including an
Transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery is the most widely used surgical technique for control of intractable epistaxis. Although this technique is highly efficacious, significant complications may occur, including oroantral fistula, damage to the infraorbital nerve, and recurrent
This paper reports the case of a 50-year-old man who underwent superselective embolization after severe posterior rhinorrhagia caused by hypertension. Twelve hours after the procedure, left-sided hemiparesis and right-sided facial nerve paresis developed, followed by ulceration and necrosis of the
A perfect surgical approach to nasal cavity and paranasal sinus tumors should provide a broad exposition preserving the important structures with no cosmetic defect. Midfacial degloving (MD) technique provides good exposure without incisions and scars in the face. Classic MD technique includes
