Which of the following aery is NOT ligated in a case of epistaxis?
Correct Answer: Internal carotid aery
Description: Internal carotid aery shouldn't be ligated in epistaxis due to risk of development of collateral blood flow into pseudoaneurysm leading to recurrent epistaxis. Aeries which can be ligated in a case of epistaxis are: Anterior and posterior ethmoidal aery, sphenopalatine aery (SPA). More rarely the internal maxillary aery or the External Carotid Aery can be ligated.
