Case description

Epistaxis can be treated by either surgical means (eg, cautery, vascular ligation) or endovascular embolotherapy. Internal carotid arteriograms are obtained to exclude aneurysms. Then, the external carotid artery is catheterized and control angiography is performed initially to map the vascular anatomy and to check for the presence of a collateral supply to the intracranial circulation.
