We report a severe life threatening recurrent massive nasal bleeding caused by intranasal heroin use that has not hitherto been reported in the English literature. A 24-year-old male who took heroin several times nasally presented with massive nasal bleeding. A blood transfusion and an operation to halt nasal bleeding were required. The patient did not experience a bleeding attack 2 months following cessation of nasal heroin use.en10.3342/ceo.2011.4.3.159info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNasal heroinLife threateningRecurrent epistaxisArticle43159161WOS:000295101200010Q1Q3
