Nasal closure for the treatment of epistaxis secondary to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Unlabelled: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known by the eponym Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by the presence of multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) affecting multiple organs.

Congenital defects of the middle ear--uncommon cause of pediatric hearing loss.

Introduction: In children, hypoacusis, or conductive hearing loss, is usually acquired; otitis media with effusion is the most common etiology.

The non-ossicular anomalies of the middle ear, for instance, persistent stapedial artery and anomaly of the facial nerve, are uncommon but may accompany the ossicular defects.
