Summary ISSUES OF EPISTAXES IN CASES OF HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA Keiichi Ichimura, MD Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Jichi Medical University School of Medicine Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasiahhtis an autosomal dominant inherited disorder affecting blood vessels of the skin, mucous membrane and viscera. Epidemiologic studies have revealed a wide range of incidences, with agreement in Europe and Japan at rates between 15000 and 18000. Mutations in at least five genes can cause HHT, with the two major disease genes on chromosome 9endoglinand chromosome 12ALK1responsible for HHT. HHT patients vary greatly in course and severity of epistaxes. Most patients have selflimiting nasal bleeding and do not require hospitalization, but about one third have severe hemorrhage necessitating admission and treatment. Clinical diagnosis of HHT is made according to the four Curaao criteria. A variety of treatment strategies have been employed. These include LASER coagulation, hormonal therapy, embolization, nasal dermoplastyndand nostril closure. It is difficult to make specific treatment recommendations for a disease that may have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations including minimal to life threatening degrees of epistaxis. The LASER has been used as first line therapy or as additional therapy after more conventional therapies have failed. Our study demonstrated ND to be an effective procedure for HHT patients with moderate or severe nasal bleeding. The nasal mucosa of the anterior part of the septum, nasal floor and the lateral wall are removed. A split skin graft is usually used to cover the denuded area.
