RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To report a case of life-threatening epistaxis in a pregnant patient, describe the links between pregnancy and epistaxis, and discuss the management of such cases. Life-threatening epistaxis in pregnancy is rare, and there are no specific evidence-based guidelines regarding the management of these patients. CASE REPORT: A 31-year-old primigravida presented with severe epistaxis in the second trimester of her pregnancy. Conservative measures failed, thereby necessitating surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of a pregnant patient presenting with severe epistaxis, and highlights the surgical challenges presented in such a situation.
