Epistaxis is a common problem in children that typically is not severe and seldom requires hospitalization. The nose is a highly vascular structure with a large surface area; subsequently, it is highly predisposed to bleeding. Childhood vasculitides are very rare and are commonly diagnosed by characteristic lesions on imaging studies along with syndrome recognition by clinicians. We present a case of recurrent epistaxis that persisted over 3 months due to Wegener's granulomatosis in an adolescent that was misdiagnosed as a benign hemorrhage from Kiesselbach's plexus.
