Epistaxis, or bleeding from the nose, is a common presentation in the urgent care setting, and it can be distressing for patients. Although most cases resolve without complicated intervention, patients may seek medical care if bleeding is severe, refractory, or recurrent. Unusual conditions that present with epistaxis can be serious; therefore, the urgent care clinician should be familiar with the wide differential diagnosis to aid in distinguishing between the benign causes of epistaxis and those that require referral to the emergency department. This review discusses the various etiologies of epistaxis, along with evaluation and management recommendations for patients with epistaxis.
