AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors and management strategies for excessive nosebleeds (epistaxis) following endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES).
- A total of 641 patients who underwent EES were analyzed, finding that 8.4% experienced excessive epistaxis post-surgery.
- Key risk factors included a history of prior EES and three other factors, while pre-operative corticosteroid therapy appeared to lower the risk of excessive nosebleeds.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the potential risk factors and management of excessive epistaxis after endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES).
Method: Six hundred and forty-one patients who underwent EES in our hospital from December 2011 to December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Factors which potentially affect the incidence of excessive epistaxis after EES were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression model.
Result: The incidence rate of excessive epistaxis after EES was 8.4% in our study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that history of previous EES, along with other four factors, correlated significantly with the occurrence of excessive epistaxis after EES.
Conclusions: Previous EES, along with other three factors, may increase the chance of excessive epistaxis after EES, while pre-operative corticosteroid therapy may reduce the risk to some extent.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited vascular disorder with highly variable penetrance, affecting up to 1 in 5,000 individuals. It is characterized by the presence of abnormal blood vessels that can lead to excessive bleeding-most frequently recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis), skin and mucosal telangiectasias (small, dilated blood vessels), as well as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) that can form in various organs, particularly the lungs, liver, and brain. HHT is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the BMP9-10/ENG/ALK1/SMAD4 signaling pathway, an important mediator of vascular quiescence.

However, patients with inherited coagulation disorders may exhibit prolonged or, in some cases, excessive bleeding requiring multiple perioperative interventions. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited coagulopathy and often manifests via easy bruising, epistaxis, or prolonged bleeding.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an aggressive syndrome of excessive immune activation. It usually occurs in children, mainly during the first year of life. Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is more common and usually occurs in immunocompromised patients.
