Overview
The diagnostic study of choice to find the source of epistaxis is rhinoscopy. In patients which rhinoscopy is not efficient to find the source vessel of bleeding, internal carotid artery (ICA) angiography is the most efficient action to find the bleeding site.
Diagnostic study of choice
The diagnostic study of choice to find the source of epistaxis is rhinoscopy. In patients which rhinoscopy is not efficient to find vessel which bleeding, internal carotid artery (ICA) angiography is the most efficient action to find the bleeding site.
- In posterior epistaxis, posterior rhinoscopy is needed to find the source of bleeding.
