Epistaxis is very frequent in pediatrics affecting almost 60% of children. It is generally a benign condition, but occasionally an underlying disease such as a systemic coagulopathy or a local tumor may be present. We report a case of a child with severe recurrent epistaxis, in whom both a mild p...
