Causes
Base on the cause and severity of Epistaxis it can be life threatening.
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes of epistaxis include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Local trauma
- Acute sinusitis
- Allergic rhinitis
- Anticoagulation
- Aspirin
- Chronic rhinitis
- Chronic sinusitis
- Cocaine
- Common cold
- Foreign bodies
- Nose-picking
- Neoplasia
