Case description

While most nosebleeds originate from the anterior nasal septum, sometimes they occur from other areas within the nasal cavity. In this case the source of bleeding were the large vessels seen on the anterior end of this left middle turbinate. Application of silver nitrate to cauterize these vessels was curative.
