Abstract
Embolization to treat intractable epistaxis is becoming increasingly popular. Twelve cases of facial nerve paralysis after embolization of branches of the external carotid artery have been reported. In this paper, a new case is reported. In epistaxis. embolization should be reserved for patients with contraindications to ligation or in emergency procedures.Keywords
