Epistaxis-related hemolacria in a 6-year-old female after midfacial trauma: Epistaxis-related hemolacria

“…For example, in the patient by Drake and Packer [8], HL developed after the insertion of a "Rhino Rocket" nasal tamponade device to treat persistent epistaxis. Epistaxis is idiopathic in some cases [9] or may be secondary to underlying conditions with systemic effects (e.g., end-stage renal disease, psychological stress, irritant exposure, and alcoholism) [7,8,10,11] and to maxillary orthognathic surgery [12]. The two patients by Humber et al, after having orthognathic surgical correction of Class III malocclusion, presented with complaints of epistaxis and retrograde hemorrhage from ipsilateral nasolacrimal puncta, one on the 8 th day postoperatively and the other early on after her transfer to the post-anesthesia care unit [12].…”
