Summary: Epistaxis is a very common problem that, in most cases, is of easy control. When it occurs after head trauma, usually happens due to nasal mucosa lacerations or lesion of anterior ethmoidal or sphenopalatine artery branches. Very excepcionally, the bleeding can be so serious and of so difficult management and control that threatens patient´s life. In these situations it is mandatory to investigate and treat vascular abnormalities, specifically aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas, even being rare causes of epistaxis. The authors present a case of fibromuscular dysplasia with several pseudoaneurysms diagnosed after a late posttraumatic massive epistaxis, in a 27-year-old patient , victim of a head trauma, which management of the bleeding was extremely difficult and just achieved with arteriography and embolization.

Quando ocorre após traumatismos crânioencefálicos decorre geralmente de lacerações da mucosa nasal ou lesão de ramos das artérias etmoidal anterior ou esfenopalatina. Excepcionalmente, a hemorragia pode ser de extrema abundância e de tão difícil controlo que coloca em risco a vida do paciente. Nestas situações é mandatório despistar e corrigir anomalias vasculares, nomeadamente aneurismas, pseudo-aneurismas ou fístulas arterio-venosas, apesar de serem causa rara de epistaxis. Os autores apresentam um caso de displasia fibromuscular com múltiplos pseudo-aneurismas, diagnosticada no contexto de epistaxis maciça pós-traumática tardia, em doente de 27 anos, vítima de traumatismo crânio-encefálico, cujo controle do sangramento foi difícil e conseguido apenas após embolização por arteriografia.Sociedade Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço2012-03-20info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.140https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.140Portuguese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery; Vol. 50 No. 1 (2012): Março; 81-83Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 50 Núm. 1 (2012): Março; 81-83Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 50 N.º 1 (2012): Março; 81-832184-6499reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2560https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2560/565Nobre, Ana RitaPinto, SofiaSousa, VítorRibeiro, Carlosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-06-06T12:59:08Zoai:journalsporl.com:article/2560Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:53:51.487004Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
