BACKGROUND Epistaxis is one of the most common emergencies seen in Otorhinolaryngology. It is usually managed with simple conservative measures, but occasionally it can be a life-threatening condition. Immediate action and thorough evaluation is required to effectively manage a case of epistaxis. The objectives of this study are-1. To analyse the various aetiological factors for epistaxis. 2. To study the examination findings and investigations in relation to epistaxis. 3. To study the methods of management of epistaxis and their outcome in a tertiary care hospital.

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly involving the eye, ear, vertebra, and the mandible. This anomaly presenting primarily to the ENT outpatient clinic with ear discharge and cholesteatoma is still rarer. Here we describe one such rare case that was a challenge to diagnose as well as manage. We also discuss the various problems in the management and highlight the need for a multispecialty approach to tackling the various pathologies in such a case.
