Abstract
Epistaxis is very frequented emergency faced by ENT practician around the world, commonly benign but can lead to dangerous morbidities if refractory. Surgical is the standard treatment and embolization and endoscopic ligation are the emergent routes of treatment constituting the main arsenal to face refractory epistaxis with similar success rate. We thus report a low energy-traumatic bilateral refractory posterior epistaxis treated with arterial embolization with no rebleeding up to 6-monthmarque follow-up.
