Invasive procedure for intractable epistaxis in an old comorbid woman: a case report.

: Epistaxis is a condition mainly self-limiting or easily treated conservatively, although in rare cases it could become life-threatening. We discuss the case of a 73 year comorbid old woman with severe and recurrent epistaxis treated with superselective catheterism and embolization of the internal maxillary artery. The possible underlying causes, including drug related issues, are discussed.
