Such event requires nasal packing, using balloon systems or even arterial embolization or ligation. However, the use of balloon systems may result in an intracranial position. We report here such a case in an 18-year-old man suffering from a severe nasal bleeding. | | Language | FRE | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
