ABSTRACT
Epistaxis is a common problem
that ranges from a minor
annoyance to a life-threatening
emergency and the etiology
can vary from a simple digital
trauma to a neoplasia. As for
treatment there are new trends
for surgical and non-surgical
management that will be
implemented depending on the
cause and presentation of each
pacient. Finally identifying the
likely source of the bleeding
based on a thorough knowledge
of the vascular anatomy will
increase the likelihood of a
successful treatment.
