Internal carotid artery epistaxis

Abstract

Epistaxis from the internal carotid artery (ICA) or bleeding from the ICA at the skull base is a rare, frightening, and difficult management problem. We present five cases, with a variety of causes--in all of which the patients survived massive hemorrhage--and suggest a protocol for management of the condition.
