Posttraumatic epistaxis from injury to the pterygovaginal artery

Department of Neuroradiology, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, AZ 85013, USA.

Facial and skull base trauma can cause clinically significant epistaxis. Optimal evaluation and treatment require knowledge of the pertinent vascular and skull base anatomy. We describe a patient with extensive skull base injury and epistaxis in whom CT revealed a fracture through the roof of the nasopharynx and arteriography showed injury to the pterygovaginal (pharyngeal) artery. The fracture was successfully treated with transarterial particulate embolization.
