Abstract
Hemolacria is a very rare entity which literally means "bloody tears". Conjunctivitis, capillary hemangioma, conjunctival telangiectasia, trauma, retrograde epistaxis and nasal and paranasal neoplasms may play a role in its etiology. In our case report, a 11-year-old female patient who presented with the complaint of bilateral epistaxis accompanied by bloody tears that had been present for 2 years and whose endoscopic examination revealed hyperemia and increased vascularity in the nasal cavity mucosa was discussed together with a review of the literature.Entities:
