Abstract
We present a case of non-hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) arteriovenous malformation (AVM) epistaxis in a young healthy patient, causing life-threatening bleeding with successful embolization. We report a case of a 33-year-old healthy male with massive epistaxis. A noninvasive intervention failed to treat the bleeding. Following procedure with electronic cauterization was not sufficient. At last, after a multidisciplinary Concilium, diagnostic catheterization of an AVM with embolization was successfully done. The case highlights an unusual AVM that causes epistaxis and a possible collaborative multidisciplinary management.
