Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Epistaxis is one of the most frequently encountered emergencies reported to occur in up to 60% of the general population. It has a bimodal age presentation with incidence peaks in below 25 years and above 50 years of age and affects males twice more than females. The Kiesselbach’s plexus is responsible for most anterior epistaxis accounting for 85 to 95%, but easy to identify and treat. Posterior epistaxis which constitute 5 to 15% are often more severe, difficult to locate and treat. Sixty patients (15-76years of age) presented with bleeding per nose were enrolled in our study from August 2014-August 2015 at Dept of ENT, where, a total of sixty patients with unilateral and bilateral nasal bleeding were enrolled in the study. Majority of this study group were male, forty two (70%) and eighteen were female (30%), thirty two patients (53.3%) had hypertension, seventeen patients (28.3%) had epistaxis following injury of nose and paranasal sinus area.
