“…In the present study (Table 5) most cases were anterior nasal bleeds and were managed conservatively with anterior nasal packing similar to study by Juselius and O' Donnel et al 7,8 Most cases were treated conservatively with anterior nasal packing (Table 6) (85 patients), some cases whom were without active bleeding during admission were observed (21 patients) and some cases were treated with anterior and posterior nasal packing (14 patients).…”

Background: Epistaxis is a symptom of many diverse conditions. This study on epistaxis of 120 cases in adults, is to find out the most common causes for epistaxis, prevalence of epistaxis in either sex, age groups and for early identification of cause and management. Results were analysed. Methods: Prospective study of series 120 cases in adults. Results: Results were analysed and idiopathic was most common cause of epistaxis, males were more affected than females, and the most common age group affected is 13 to 30 years. Most cases are treated by conservative measures. Conclusions: Idiopathic is the most common cause of epistaxis in this present study. Other causes are trauma, DNS with spurs, sinusitis and JNA in adolescent males. Males are commonly affected than females .The most common age group affected is 13 to 30 years and 41 to 60 years. Most cases are treated by conservative measures.

“…A committed search for the bleeder as well as a deliberate effort to find the cause of epistaxis 3,6,7 is necessary, because too many cases of epistaxis are grouped as idiopathic or primary. In this study 45.55% of cases were idiopathic similar to findings of Mgbor.…”

Background: Epistaxis is defined as a hemorrhage from the nostril, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx. Sufferers and clinicians may develop significant anxiety despite the fact that majority of patients are treated successfully by the first attending physician. Objective: To review aetiology and management outcomes of epistaxis in a resource constrained setting. Methodology: A retrospective review of 101 patients seen with epistaxis at the National Ear Care Centre, Kaduna over 7years (January 2002-December 2008. Results: The age of patients ranged between 2 and 75years. The incidence of epistaxis of 0.5% was recorded out of total patient visit and slight male preponderance with a male:female ratio of 1.4:1. Dry-hot and cold harmattan weather had the highest prevalence. Trauma and infections were the main aetiological factors identified but over 40% of cases are idiopathic in origin. About 25% presented with active bleeding and 11% required admission. All were managed conservatively. Less than 2% received blood transfusion. Conclusion: Epistaxis is a common emergency that requires prompt intervention to reduce further morbidity and prevent mortality. Non operative intervention was a satisfactory approach in this study.

“…It helps in proper visualization and hence return to haemostasis of the bleeding vessel. 5 Most areas that bleed spontaneously are situated in the posterior and lateral part of the nose whose detection is time consuming. Rigid nasal endoscopy enables targeted homeostasis of the bleeding vessel using insulated hot wire cautery or modern single fiber bipolar electrodes, chemical cautery, direct pressure from miniature targeted packs, endoscopic ligation of the sphenopalatine artery, endoscopic ligation of ethmoidal arteries or with the use of lasers.…”
