FOR DIAGNOSIS AND FOR TREATMENT: Endoscopy for upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage has a double objective. It is difficult and to be optimal, it must be conducted at the right time and in the best technical conditions as possible. Depending on the etiology, identification of the cause of bleeding precedes the choice of the haemostatic method to be used, preferentially injections of adrenaline in the case of bleeding ulcers and elastic ligature in the case of ruptured oesophageal varicose veins. In general the aim of endoscopic treatment is to stop the haemorrhage and to reduce as far as possible the risk of recurrent haemorrhage, which represents a factor of high deathrate.

Intranasal ectopic teeth are rare and ectopic eruption of teeth can occur in a variety of locations. Commonly seen in the palate and maxillary sinus, they have also been reported in the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, orbital and nasal cavities, and through the skin. With the advent of sinonasal endoscopy in the mid 1980s, and subsequent advances in surgical techniques, endoscopic management of intranasal lesions has become possible. In the current case study, we report a successful endoscopic removal of intranasal ectopic teeth located in the nasal cavity. The endoscopic surgical approach used in this case caused less morbidity than do the more common methods of removing an intranasal ectopic tooth.
