Abstract

Case Report : We report herein on the case of a 75 years old woman with refractory epistaxis associated with Osler’s disease. Anemia and recurrent epistaxis occurred 10 years previously, and anemia was treated by a physician near the patient’s home. Because she had gradually become unable to control her epistaxis, she visited our hospital. We diagnosed Osler’s disease based on her family history, past history, and dilatory changes in the peripheral and nasal mucosa vessels. A skin graft failed and ultrasonic coagulation was not so effective. The refractory epistaxis was due to a connected arteriovenous fistula of the right upper nasal valve. Following ethanol injection sclerotherapy and an adhesion maneuver, the epistaxis was well controlled.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
