Abstract
A case on the successful management of acute facial bleeding from the maxillary artery by superselective embolization is described. A 26-year-old male sustained a gunshot wound (GSW) to the face leading to profuse bleeding from the site of bullet entry, the nose and the mouth. Local measures failed to arrest the bleeding. The patient was stabilised haemodynamically, then the source of bleeding was located by angiography and the bleeding was arrested by superselective embolization.
