We report a case of 39-year-old male with persistent epistaxis post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FEES) with septoplasty. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed the pseudoaneurysm of septal branch of an anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) that was occluded by glue (interventional therapy).
