Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous infection of the respiratory tract, endemic in specific global regions.
  • It is notably rare in South America, making case reports from this area significant.

Observation:

  • A 51-year-old male presented with progressive nasal obstruction, headache, and a nasal mass.
  • The patient resided in a psychiatric institution in São Paulo, Brazil.

Findings:

  • Histopathology was crucial for diagnosing Rhino-Sinus scleroma.
  • Surgical excision of the nasal mass followed by ciprofloxacin treatment was effective.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rhinoscleroma in differential diagnoses of nasal masses, even in rare endemic areas.
