| description | ABSTRACT A 21‐year‐old Palestinian woman experienced recurrent hematemesis and melena over 7 months, requiring multiple hospital admissions and blood transfusions. Despite extensive investigations, the bleeding source remained undetermined until a posterior nasal bleed was suspected. Flexible rhinoscopy revealed a dilated sphenopalatine artery, and she was successfully treated with endovascular intervention. It is important for the Gastroenterologists to consider nasal endoscopy for patients with unexplained UGIB. |
