  • Title: Limited septoplasty as treatment for recurrent epistaxis in a child with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
    Author: Guarisco JL, Cheney ML, Ohene-Frempong K, LeJeune FE, Blair PA.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1987 Mar; 97(3 Pt 1):336-8. PubMed ID: 3821355.
    Abstract:
    Recurrent epistaxis can be a serious problem in children with coagulation disorders. We present a case of severe, recurrent nosebleeds in a 3-year-10-month-old boy with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. The nature of Glanzmann's disease and medical treatment of epistaxis in children is reviewed. A method of controlling recurrent epistaxis with a very simple and limited septoplasty is described. This technique should be applicable to patients with recurrent nosebleeds and other more common coagulation disorders.
