A retrospective study carried out on patients who presented with epistaxis at the University of llorin Teaching Hospital over a 5-year (1999-2003) period.

A total of 1153 cases of adult and pediatric emergencies were seen during the period under review; 342 (29.6%) were aural; 508 (44.1%) were nasal and 303 (26.2%) were throat related. Epistaxis constituted 46.5% of the nasal emergencies while foreign bodies in the nose constituted 20.4%, acute rhino sinusitis 11.2%, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhealO.2%; nasal furunculosis 9.8% and septal hematoma/septal abscess 1.9% In conclusion, epistaxis constitutes a major ENT emergency in Nigeria; adults are dominant victims.Trauma was the most common etiological factor revealed by this study followed by idiopathic cause.en_US
