    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study details three rare causes of epistaxis (nosebleeds): a carotid-cavernous fistula after skull fracture, anterior ethmoidal artery damage during rhinoplasty, and psychopathology-induced self-trauma. Effective management strategies for these unusual cases are presented.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, can stem from various causes, ranging from common to exceptionally rare.
    • Understanding these unusual etiologies is crucial for effective clinical management and patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A case of epistaxis secondary to a carotid-cavernous fistula following a basal skull fracture from a motor vehicle accident, leading to cardiac arrest.
    • An unusual complication of rhinoplasty involving damage to the anterior ethmoidal artery during a medial osteotomy, resulting in severe epistaxis.
    • A unique instance of chronic epistaxis in an adult female attributed to psychopathology, manifesting as self-inflicted nasal trauma for attention or defense, leading to severe anemia.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights the diverse and severe presentations of epistaxis, including life-threatening complications like cardiac arrest.

  • It underscores the importance of considering iatrogenic causes and psychogenic factors in the differential diagnosis of persistent or severe epistaxis.
  • Management protocols for these distinct and challenging cases of epistaxis are detailed, emphasizing tailored approaches.

    • Implications:

    • These cases expand the known spectrum of epistaxis causes, informing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for uncommon causes of epistaxis, particularly in patients with complex medical histories or unusual behaviors.
    • Further research into the psychopathology of self-induced epistaxis may improve long-term management and patient well-being.
