Cavernous hemangioma in inferior concha presented with hearing loss

Location of cavernous hemangioma in nasal cavity is a very rare condition. Herein we will report an adult male diagnosed with cavernous hemangioma located in inferior concha and causing otitis media with effusion that was treated with the minimally invasive trans-nasal endoscopic technique. Although there are many options in treatment of lesions in nasal cavity, we recommend the trans-nasal endoscopic approach since it is minimally invasive and it is sufficient in both bleeding control and complete removal of the cavernous hemangioma.
