[Treatment of posterior epistaxis by ligation of the internal maxillary artery in the pterygo-maxillany fossa].
The microsurgical, transantral ligature of the internal maxillary artery is the treatment of choice for recurring posterior epistaxis. An immediate success was obtained by this method in 5 out of 7 patients. In one case the concomitant coagulation of the ethmoidal arteries was necessary and in another instance a revascularization of the spheno-palatine artery could be visualized by arteriography.
