Abstract
Some types of nasal bleeding are difficult to control. Such cases include arteriolar bleeding in-volving repeated spouting with no clear-cut change in the wound surface; bleeding from the posterior parietal region of the nasal cavity, with no distinct bleeding sites on an anterior rhinoscopic examination; or both. A 56-year-old man presented with posterior nasal bleeding from the posterior parietal region of the left inferior nasal concha. The author describes the use of the Hunnicutt technique, electrocoagulation, and compression tamponing for the treatment of nasal bleeding in this patient. We should take carefully into account collapsed areas of nasal tissues and potential bleeding sites in the nasal cavity in order to effectively treat nasal bleeding.
