Abstract

A 26-year old male patient was admitted with severe epistaxis mainly from the right nasal cavity, after sustaining a nose injury while practicing parkour. His nose was packed with anterior packs by the ED doctors but continued bleeding. The ENT registrar inserted posterior packs, but the patient kept bleeding through the packs. He was haemodynamically stable, with a Hb of 12 g/dL. The patient was consented for EUA nose and cautery and right SPA ligation+ right anterior ethmoidal artery ligation. After the surgical treatment of epistaxis, he was kept overnight for observation and had an uneventful recovery. He was discharged the following day and no further follow up was required.
