  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.
