External nose lesions Vestibular lesions
Most diseases do not require imaging and include cellulitis or deformities
Deformities often result from abnormalities of the cartilage
• Saddle nose: Depression of the dorsum due to involvement of bony/cartilaginous part or both
• Following trauma or surgery or septal hematoma, abscess or midline lesions destroying the septum
• Masses:
– In the region of glabella:
- Congenital lesions: Dermoid
cyst, encephalocele, glioma,
hemangioma,andneurobroma
– In the region of vestibule:
- Malignant lesions: Basal cell
carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma
Most commonly infective: Vestibulitis, furuncle
• Congenital: Stenosis, atresia – Tumors/tumor-like condition:

MANAGEMENT
Management in nasal obstruction depends on the cause of obstruction. It can be medical/conservative, endoscopic, or surgical.
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM
Flowchart 26.2 summarizes the approach to unilateral nasal obstruction
associated with soft tissue/ ‘mass lesion’
Bilateral lesions are mostly infective or inammatory in nature.
However large masses which are initially unilateral become/appear
bilateral due to erosion/ displacement of the nasal septum.

INTRODUCTION
Epistaxis is dened as bleeding from nose or nasopharynx. e word epistaxis originated from Greek word “epistazein” which means to ow drop by drop.
In 1784 Vogel suggested that the term should be used specically for nasal bleeding.
1,2
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Many people experience nose bleeding at some point in their life and the prevalence of epistaxis is estimated to be about 108/100,000 per year.
Of these about 6% need medical management.
Epistaxis has bimodal age distribution and is most commonly seen under the age of 10 years and over 40 years. ere is no race or gender predilection.

RELEVANT ANATOMY
Blood supply to nose comes from both external and internal carotid arteries (Fig. 27.1A), through the following branches.
383Chapter 27 Approach to Epistaxis
A
B
Figs. 27.1A and B: (A) Blood supply of nasal septum from external and internal carotid
artery systems; and (B) Little’s area and Kiesselbach’s plexus.
External Carotid Artery
Internal maxillary artery: It supplies blood to nose through its branches.
• Greater palatine artery
• Pharyngeal artery
• Posterior nasal artery
• Sphenopalatine artery (SPA) is the major supply to nasal cavity and to
superior and medial turbinates.
Superior labial artery branch of facial artery supplies to nasal vestibule.
Internal Carotid Artery
Ophthalmic artery, a branch of internal carotid artery (ICA) provides blood supply through:
Anterior ethmoidal artery gives branch to superior turbinate.
Posterior ethmoidal artery supplies to sphenoethmoidal recess area. Both anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries give medial and lateral
branches. e medial branches supplies the superior septum and Little’s area.
Section 7 Clinico-Radiological Approach384
Anatomically important structures which are involved in epistaxis are
(Fig. 27.1B):
Little’s area: Situated in the anteroinferior part of septum, described by James Little in 1879.2 It contains Kiesselbach’s plexus, a vascular network formed by branches from septal branches of SPA, greater palatine artery, and septal branch of superior labial artery, anterior, and posterior ethmoidal arteries. e vascular anatomy of this plexus was described by Wilhelm Kiesselbach in 1884.
2
Woodru plexus: Situated at inferoposterior end of inferior turbinate; and formed by branches from ascending pharyngeal artery, posterior nasal branch of sphenopalatine and SPA.
ETIOLOGY
Epistaxis can be classied depending on anatomical location, onset, severity, causing/risk factors, and age as:
Anterior or posterior
Primary or secondary
Traumatic or nontraumatic
Acute or chronic
Pediatric or adult.
About 90% of nose bleeding originates from Little’s area.
e most common cause of epistaxis in children is digital trauma and hypertension in people over 40 years of age. Most often primary epistaxis is idiopathic and the various causes of bleeding are documented in Table 27.1 and Figures 27.2 to 27.5.
It is frequently seen in dry season and in less humid environments. ese factors increase excoriation and cracking of nasal mucosa, loss
Table 27.1: Causes of epistaxis.
Traumatic Nontraumatic
• Nose picking
• Facial injury
• Impacted foreign body
• Surgery: Ear-nose-throat
(ENT)/maxillofacial/ ophthalmic
• Nasal intubation
• Septal spur/septal deviation/septal perforation
• Allergic rhinosinusitis
- Nasal polyps
• Rhinosporidiosis
• Benign tumors (e.g. inverted papilloma, juvenile
angiobroma) (Figs. 27.2 and 27.3)
• Malignant tumors (e.g. squamous cell carcinoma)
• Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
• Vascular malformations (Figs. 27.4 and 27.5)
• Granulomatosis with polyangiitis
• Hypertension
• Coagulopathies: Hemophilia, thrombocytopenia
• Liver disease
• Drugs: Nasal sprays, drug abusing, anticoagulants (heparin, warfarin)
• Antiplatelet (e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel)

of mucosal integrity causing exposure of underlying vessels to trauma leading to nose bleeding.

INVESTIGATIONS
e following investigations should be performed after stabilizing the patient (detailed later):
Endoscopic examination to locate the site of bleed
Complete blood picture to determine amount of blood loss
Renal function tests to assess the renal damage in severe epistaxis
Liver function tests for coagulation factors

IMAGING
Cross-sectional imaging protocol for epistaxis depends on the severity of epistaxis and suspected cause based on clinical evaluation
