The objective of this paper is to report a rare clinical case of persistently recurring nasal hemorrhage. Reccurent nasal hemorrhage in the examined patient was associated with the presence of the false internal carotid artery aneurism. This condition was diagnosed and managed with the use of the angiographic technique in conjunction with subsequent selective endovascular embolization of the affected vessels that made it possible to purposefully block the source of hemorrhage. Angiography and selective endovascular embolization provide the sole reliable method for diagnostics and arrest of nasal hemorrhage as is confirmed by the present clinical observation.
