The squeeze is longer than 10 cm in the nasal cavity

Hospital doctors E (Hanoi) discovered a child squeezed in the right nasal cavity of Laotian student Luexong Yetuaxong. The squeezed child is removed on March 1 in black, full of blood. It can reach up to 10cm.

The patient, 23-year-old Luexong Yetuaxong, entered the E Hospital Otolaryngology department yesterday in a state of persistent nose bleeding all week, the nasal cavity occasionally hurts. This phenomenon appeared after the visit to the countryside and the stream near the house washing face. When he saw his nose bleed hard, especially when sneezing and blowing his nose, he visited two hospitals but did not discover the cause.

Doctor Dang Thi Xuan, deputy head of the Otolaryngology Department, who directly examined Yetuaxong and took her out, said, if only using normal lights, it cannot be detected. She had to use endoscopic techniques to see that the squeezed child was shrinking, tightening the cupping senses into the nasal mucosa. This animal often clings very tightly, wriggles and hides itself in the niches so it is quite difficult to pick it up. The doctors sprayed the anesthetic into the nasal cavity, causing the squeezed child to become paralyzed, not adhering to the mucosa. It took nearly 20 minutes before they dragged me out.

Explaining why such a large animal could slip through the nose without being detected , Dr. Dang Thi Xuan said that the animal was very small at first, difficult to see with the naked eye. When it comes to the nose, it sucks human blood so it grows out quickly. If it is not detected and removed soon, the patient will be in danger because the bleeding is too much to hold (the child secretes the anticoagulant).

More dangerous, in the nasal cavity with artery sieve, if squeezed into the right suction tube, the blood will flow quickly and much, causing a rupture, easily leading to death. On the other hand, because the eyes, nose and throat are interconnected, the extractor can thread from the back of the nose to the throat, causing laryngospasm, making it difficult for the patient to breathe.

According to Professor Pham Binh Quyen - Center for Natural Resources and Environment, Hanoi National University - squeezed into life cycle in years, capable of regeneration. An adult squeeze can suck 50 ml of blood every day. Squeezed in many mountains, where many rivers and streams. Therefore, to prevent, do not bathe, wash and drink water in rivers and streams. When there is a nosebleed, it is necessary to go to the hospital soon to avoid prolonged blood loss.
