Retrospective Study of Epistaxis

Abstract

We examined 718 epistaxis cases who visited or were hospitalized in the Tokyo Women's Medical University Daini Hospital.
1) Many of the epistaxis cases were men, and a relation to arteriosclerosis was strongly suggested.
2) A relation to changes in the diastolic pressure was strongly suggested by the number of epistaxis patients with hypertension.
3) The bleeding area, excluding the Kiesselbach area, increased with aging.
