title: Epistaxis in children with vascular malformations--commentary of two cases and literature review.
abstract: Vascular anomalies can cause epistaxis in children. The authors present two cases of recurrent epistaxis secondary to rare causes and discuss their presentations. Both cases were managed conservatively since intervention in these vascular lesions carries a high risk of damaging adjacent structures.
