Sample item

What is the usual treatment goal for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia epistaxis?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Control bleeding and assess systemic vascular lesions

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia causes recurrent epistaxis from telangiectases and warrants bleeding control plus assessment for arteriovenous malformations.

Option by option

  • A. Give long-term antibiotics only

    Antibiotics do not treat telangiectases.

  • B. Control bleeding and assess systemic vascular lesions (correct)

    Correct: local control and systemic screening are needed.

  • C. Remove both turbinates routinely

    Radical turbinate surgery is not routine.

  • D. Treat as simple allergic rhinitis

    Allergy does not explain recurrent telangiectatic bleeding.
