Overview

Epistaxis also known as noes bleeding, is a terminology name for bleeding of nose vessels that drains out from nostril (most often) and/or nasopharynx. Epistaxis is often stop easily but sometimes it's an ENT emergency which can be critical if appropriate action does not occur. Kiesselbach's plexus is the source of most epistaxis.

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

Diagnosis

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of Epistaxis according the the [...] guidelines.
