RESUMEN
La enfermedad de Rendu-Osler-Weber-(ROW) es un padecimiento hereditario causante de sangrados de variadas localizaciones siendo lo más frecuente la epistaxis, puede comprometer la vida del paciente si las hemorragias son abundantes y muy frecuentes. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que acudió a la consulta externa de ORL del Hospital Vozandes Quito en el mes de septiembre del año 2002, presentando una epistaxis severa de fosa nasal derecha que fue controlada en forma efectiva en base a una adecuada exploración endoscópica y utilización de cauterización eléctrica solamente en el sitio del sangrado y bajo visión directa. El paciente salió del hospital sin ningún taponamiento y hasta la fecha no a vuelto a presentar sangrados importantes. Concluimos que durante una epistaxis causada por la enfermedad de ROW o por otra causa, se debe realizar una valoración adecuada de la cavidad nasal sea por un examen convencional o por endoscopía, con el fin de identificar el sitio de la hemorragia y actuar sobre el; no recomendamos ante una epistaxis realizar taponamientos nasales a ciegas como procedimiento estándar.
ABSTRACT
Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROW) is an inherited condition that causes bleeding from various locations, epistaxis being the most frequent, it can compromise the patient's life if bleeding is abundant and very frequent. We present the case of a patient who attended the ENT outpatient clinic at the Hospital Vozandes Quito in September 2002, presenting a severe right nostril epistaxis that was effectively controlled based on adequate endoscopic examination and use. of electric cauterization only at the bleeding site and under direct vision. The patient left the hospital without any tamponade and to date has not returned to show significant bleeding. We conclude that during an epistaxis caused by ROW disease or another cause, an adequate evaluation of the nasal cavity should be carried out either by a conventional examination or by endoscopy, in order to identify the site of the hemorrhage and act on it; We do not recommend blind episodes of nasal plugging as a standard procedure.
