Abstrakt:	A recent case report from Yunnan, China highlights a rare cause of epistaxis (nosebleeds) - a live leech in the nasal cavity. The report describes a 55-year-old male who presented with repeated epistaxis for over 20 days. Nasal endoscopy revealed a live leech in the left nostril, which was successfully removed. The researchers emphasize the importance of considering leeches as a potential cause of epistaxis in patients with a history of fieldwork or direct contact with leeches. This case report provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of epistaxis caused by nasal foreign bodies like leeches. [Extracted from the article]
