Bleeding from inside the nose is called epistaxis Fairly common and is seen in all age groups. “Epistaxis refers to nose bleed or hemorrhage from the nose”. It‘s mostly commonly originates in the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. A hemorrhage from the nose, referred to as epistaxis, is caused by the rupture of tiny, distended vessels in the mucous membrane of any area of the nose. Most commonly, the site is the anterior septum, where three major blood vessels enter the nasal cavity: (1) the anterior ethmoidal artery on the forward part of the roof (Kesselbach’s plexus) (2) the sphenopalatine artery in the posterosuperior region, and (3) the internal maxillary branches (the plexus of veins located at the back of the lateral wall under the inferior turbinate).
