Abstract

The authors present a case of bilateral cavernous haemangiomas affecting the posterior ends of both inferior turbinates of the nose. The condition was treated by angiographically controlled embolization. Review of the literature back to 1967 has revealed no other report of embolization being used specifically for this condition. All previous treatments have involved surgery; we describe an alternative therapeutic option.
