Frequent bouts of epistaxis are a conspicuous features of______________?

Correct answer: B. Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia

A. Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis
B. Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia
C. Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
D. Vascular nevus

Explanation

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia causes fragile telangiectatic vessels in the nasal and oral mucosa, so recurrent epistaxis is a characteristic feature. Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma can bleed heavily, but it is a localized tumour rather than the classic cause of frequent recurrent epistaxis in this context.
