OSTEOMYELITIS OF THE BASISPHENOID AND BASIOCCIPUT WITH MENINGITIS AND CRANIAL NERVE PALSIES AS A COMPLICATION OF NASOPHARYNGEAL PACKING FOR CONTROL OF EPISTAXIS: Report of a Case with Recovery

Nasal endoscopic control of epistaxis ‐ A preliminary report

“…When bleeding occurs beyond the area that can be visualized with anterior rhinoscopy, control of epistaxis becomes a much greater problem. Failures and complications have been reported with nasal packing,'" 6 transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery, 7 external ca rotid ligation, 8 pterygomaxillary fossa injection, 91,1 and arterial embolization." 12 In 1984, Anderson et al 8 described the use of sep toplasty on an emergency basis, in conjunction with examination of the nasopharynx and posterior nose with the use of a mirror placed through the mouth to visualize the bleeding vessel in cases of posterior epistaxis.…”
