Case description

The epistaxis (a nose bleeding) can be an alarming presenting symptom. In the case of children, most of the bleedings come from abnormal vessels of Little's area, which are located at nasal septum (partition) just beyond its hairy part of the nose. They are so fragile that even a nose picking/digging and hard rubbing (in allergic rhinitis) can cause a traumatize. On the other hand, it can also occur spontaneously. In this video we can see abnormal visible vesses at Little's area and its appearance after topical trichloroacetic acid 20 percent application (white in colour).
