Abstract

Severe and recurrent epistaxis in cases of Rendu-Osler disease (Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) are very difficult to treat. For one case the authors propose a bilateral nasolabial flap with inferior pedicle. They describe the technique and after 15 months of follow-up there is no recurrency. This treatment is used for particular cases: old people with short expectation of life, severe anaemia involving the vital prognosis.
