Abstract :

Nasal hemangioma is a rare benign vascular neoplasm, yet clinically significant due to its hemorrhagic potential within a richly vascularized anatomical region. Its therapeutic management requires a multidisciplinary approach, particularly in cases indicated for surgical resection. Preoperative arterial embolization has proven to be an effective tool for controlling intraoperative bleeding, facilitating complete excision, and improving surgical outcomes. This review addresses the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of nasal hemangioma, with emphasis on the role of endovascular embolization as a fundamental component of pre-surgical strategy and in this case, as a definitive treatment.
