Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical features and management of intractable deep-seated epistaxis.Methods Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively in 195 patients with intractable deep-seated epistaxis treated in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao College between June 2008 and June 2014.The analyses included common risk factors,bleeding sites,treatments and therapeutic effects.SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results There were 162 males and 33 females,aged from 15 to 88 years old (mean 52 16 years).One hundred and eighty-seven cases (95.9％) were unilateral and 8 cases (4.1％) were bilateral.One hundred and twenty-six eases (64.6％) had the history of hypertension or blood pressure higher than normal on admission.Eight patients were cured by nasal packing and appropriate drugs,and 187 patients were treated by endoscopy and electrocoagulation.The numbers of treatment needed to stop bleeding were 1 time in 184 cases(98.4％),2 times in 3 cases(1.6％).Thirteen cases did not have certain bleeding point,while the other 174 had certain one or more bleeding sites.The rewarded bleeding sites were 222,which were found in the following different sites:posterior inferior nasal meatus (33.3％,74/222),olfactory cleft of nasal septum (26.6％,59/222),the root of the middle turbinate (14.0％,31/222),and so on.Hypertension and diabetes were risk factors(OR value was 3.411,7.142,both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Intractable deep-seated epistaxis are mainly found in males and are almost unilatera1.Hypertension and diabetes are the common risk factor.The most effective and safe treatment for intractable deep-seated epistaxis is electrocoagulation under nasal endoscopy.
