Abstract
Key points
In patients with severe refractory epistaxis due to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, the most effective results are achieved by surgical closure of the nares to permanently prevent nasal airflow.
Flap failure and dehiscence can occur and result in fistula formation and clinical relapse.
We describe the utility of a V-Y advancement flap in repairing localized cutaneous defects in patients who have previously undergone nasal closure for severe HHT.
期刊介绍:
International Forum of Allergy & Rhinologyis a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and the Official Journal of the American Rhinologic Society and the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy.
International Forum of Allergy Rhinology provides a forum for clinical researchers, basic scientists, clinicians, and others to publish original research and explore controversies in the medical and surgical treatment of patients with otolaryngic allergy, rhinologic, and skull base conditions. The application of current research to the management of otolaryngic allergy, rhinologic, and skull base diseases and the need for further investigation will be highlighted.
