An unusual cause of epistaxis in a young patient: the supernumerary nasal tooth.

This report describes a young female patient with a complaint of epistaxis from the right nasal cavity. The diagnosis of a supernumerary nasal tooth was confirmed by computed tomography and the tooth was removed endoscopically with minimal morbidity.
