Abstract
Epistaxis is a common problem in pediatric patients. Most cases are benign in nature and resolve with minimal intervention. However, there are many unusual conditions that present with epistaxis that can be very serious and should be promptly investigated and treated. This review aids in the distinction between the benign causes of epistaxis and those that are more serious and require further evaluation. The various etiologies of epistaxis are discussed, and recommendations for general and scenario-specific management of pediatric patients with epistaxis are provided.
