eMedicine - Epistaxis : Article by Jeffrey Evans, MD
Background:
Epistaxis
is defined as acute
hemorrhage
from the
nostril
, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx.
A common source of anterior
epistaxis
is the
Kiesselbach plexus
, an anastomotic network of vessels on the anterior portion of the nasal septum.
Epistaxis
is more common in
hypertensive
patients, and patients are more likely to be acutely
hypertensive
during an episode of
epistaxis
.
