title: Spontaneous sphenopalatine pseudoaneurysm: recurrent epistaxis in a patient with cryptogenic vasculopathy.
abstract: We present a unique case of recurrent epistaxis secondary to a spontaneous sphenopalatine artery aneurysm in a young woman. This was investigated with an external carotid artery angiogram and subsequently treated successfully with endovascular embolisation of the aneurysm.
