Epistaxis (from Greek: ἐπιστάζω (epistazo) to bleed from the nose: ἐπί (epi) – above over + στάζω (stazo) – to drip [from the nostrils]) or a nosebleed is the relatively common occurrence of hemorrhage from the nose usually noticed when the blood drains out through the nostrils. There are two types: anterior (the most common) and posterior (less common more likely to require medical attention).
