Popis:	Epistaxis is a common and difficult problem to manage in patients with bleeding disorders. We present a case of recurrent epistaxis in a patient with Bernard-Soulier syndrome (a platelet disorder) and describe a non-invasive but effective method of closing the nasal vestibule using a silastic obturator thus preventing the drying effects of airflow on the nasal mucosa which may precipitate epistaxis in patients with a bleeding diathesis.
