A posterior nosebleed occurs when bleeding originates from the back part of the nasal cavity, often involving the branches of the maxillary or sphenopalatine artery. Unlike anterior nosebleeds, which are more common and usually cause bleeding from the front of the nose, posterior nosebleeds can be more severe and harder to control. They may result from factors like hypertension, trauma, or underlying health conditions. Treatment often requires medical intervention, such as cauterization or nasal packing.
