Abstract
We present a case of massive posterior epistaxis caused by a cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm. This lesion was treated with endova scular placement of electrolytically detachable platinum embolization coils. The treatment resulted in cessation of epistaxis until the pati ent's death 3 months following embolization. We discuss aspects of usi ng these above coils for this condition.
