Kiesselbach's plexus is an anastomotic arterial network (plexus) of four or five arteries in the nose supplying the nasal septum. It lies in the anterior inferior part of the septum known as Little's area, Kiesselbach's area, or Kiesselbach's triangle. It is a common site for anterior nosebleeds.

Most nosebleeds occur in Kiesselbach's plexus, a vascular plexus in the lower front part of the septum involving the convergence of four arteries. A smaller proportion of nosebleeds that tend to be nontraumatic occur in Woodruff's plexus. Woodruff's plexus is a venous plexus of large thin-walled veins lying in the posterior part of the inferior ...
This area is richly endowed with blood vessels (Kiesselbach's plexus). This region is also known as Little's area . Bleeding farther back in the nose is known as a posterior bleed and is usually due to bleeding from Woodruff's plexus , a venous plexus situated in the posterior part of inferior meatus. [ 17 ]
