http://www.entusa.com/Nasal%20Photos/septal_vessels_small1.jpg (http://www.entusa.com/nasal_pictures_html/nose_bleed-1.htm)This picture shows prominent anterior (http://javascript<b></b>:alert('Towards the front of the nose.'))(up-front) septal (http://javascript<b></b>:alert('Refers to the nasal septum, the bone and cartilage which divides the nose into the right and left nasal cavities.'))vessels which will bleed easily. This type of nose bleed (epistaxis (http://javascript<b></b>:alert('Nosebleed'))) usually occurs in children.

In young children nasal (javascript:alert('Pertaining to the nose.'))bleeding is often caused by chronic nasal (javascript:alert('Pertaining to the nose.'))inflammation and rupture of small blood vessels located on the anterior (javascript:alert('Towards the front.'))nasal septum (javascript:alert('The bone and cartilage which divides the nose into the right and left nasal cavities.')). The picture on the far right shows prominent vessels on the nasal septum (javascript:alert('The bone and cartilage which divides the nose into the right and left nasal cavities.')). This vascular formation is often called Kiesselbach's plexus. The same child was seen a week later just after a nose bleed. The picture on the left shows the source of bleeding.

This type of nose bleed usually occurs in adults with high blood pressure. Note the blood coming out from under the middle turbinate (javascript:alert('Folds of erectile tissue and which are located on the side of the nasal cavity. The turbinates warm and humidify the air which is breathed in. The three major nasal turbinates are the superior, middle and inferior turbinates.')). Click on pictures to enlarge !!!
http://www.entusa.com/Nasal%20Photos/20031215-inverted-papilloma_small.jpg (http://www.entusa.com/nasal_pictures_html/inverted_papilloma-1.htm)This patient presented with left sided epistaxis (javascript:alert('Nosebleed'))and was found to have a mass in her nasal (javascript:alert('Pertaining to the nose.'))cavity. The mass was an inverted papilloma. This is a locally invasive tumor which is treated with surgical resection. Endoscopic sinus surgery (javascript:alert('Surgery on the sinuses which is performed through the nose using rigid fiberoptic scopes.')) can be used to remove this growth. In this procedure fiberoptic scopes are placed in the nose and the growth is resected without any external surgical incisions. The overall success rate has been reported to be as high as 94% Click on pictures to enlarge !!!
