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
- Local trauma
- Acute sinusitis
- Allergic rhinitis
- Anticoagulation
- Aspirin
- Chronic rhinitis
- Chronic sinusitis
- Cocaine
- Common cold
- Foreign bodies
- Nose-picking
- Neoplasia
