Epistaxis occurs in approximately 60% of the general population. Every tenth
person requires treatment in a hospital setting. Epistaxis occurs in all age groups,
reaching its peak in children around 10 years of age and in adults around 80
years of age. The frequency and intensity of epistaxis are anatomically based on
numerous vascular connections. The cause of epistaxis in most cases can be
determined on the basis of a detailed history and physical examination. There
are a number of treatments available for nose bleeds. From widely available
methods such as nasal tamponade to more advanced endovascular procedures.
