Intractable epistaxis is a difficult problem to manage, particularly in a

case complicated by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This is the first report

describing intermittent self-packing of the nasal cavities at home to reduce

hospital admissions and control symptoms. Some of the potential problems and

complications are highlighted.
