| | Epistaxis Pearls from the Internet |
| | Overall, I have been impressed about how little we really know about the pathogenesis of the "spontaneous posterior bleed" and it seems that most of our pearls are based upon anecdotal experience rather than solid evidence. | | | In my experience, anytime you do not find the spring w/ careful endoscopic exam (you know, the one that's bleeding once you have turn you back), it is a high risk epistaxis. | | | It seems to me that to be truly effective in controlling the problem (and getting a good night's sleep), you have to find the bleeding site. |
