Abstract

Septoplasty is a widely performed procedure globally to correct a deviated nasal septum and improve nasal breathing. Life-threatening nasal bleeding as a complication of septoplasty has been reported in a few cases in the literature. In cases of massive postoperative nasal bleeding, transarterial embolization using angiography was performed for the treatment. This article documents 1 case of excessive postoperative nasal bleeding following an uneventful septoplasty, which was successfully treated with embolization of the frontal branch of the middle meningeal artery. This case represents an extremely rare occurrence, and we present it in conjunction with a literature review.
