Summary:To study the age & sex distribution, etiology, formulate most suitable management protocol and evaluate the results of our study and compare our data with similarly published studies to look for any changing trends. All the patients presenting with epistaxis who came to our institute, a tertiary care centre of central India were included in the study. The diagnostic confirmation was done with clinical along with radiological and endoscopic evaluation. Various parameters categorized accordingly. Total 304 patients were included in the study. Epistaxis was found prevalent in 1st to 3rd decade, more common in males, frequently seen in cold, anterior epistaxis more common. Trauma and infection being more common in children and young adults, whereas hypertension in the elderly. Although the treatment of epistaxis hasn’t change much, we found cauterization to be a very efficient and effective method to control epistaxis and required less hospitalization.
