Eight hundred and eighty seven patients with epistaxis were treated at Sapporo Medical College Hospital from April, 1981 to March, 1986. Epistaxis occurred more frequently, (1) at night, (2) in winter, (3) in males, and (4) in the younger generation (0-19 years old) and the fifth decade. 80.2% of epistatis occurred at Little's area except for the ones of unknown origin. Epistaxis was prone to occur in younger people during the summer, while in the elderly during the winter. Chronic sinusitis in all ages, allergic rhinitis in children and adolecents, and hypertension in the elderly group were the leading causes of epistaxis.
