Rhinolithiasis in a primary septorhinoplasty case
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 1
Abstract
Rhinoliths are rare, mostly unilateral masses in the nasal cavity caused by the deposition of salt around an endogenous or exogenous nidus. Typical symptoms are unilateral nasal obstruction, malodorous purulant discharge, epistaxis, crusting, edema on the nose or face, anosmia, epiphora and headache. Diagnosis is made by anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy or computerized tomography. In this manuscript we report a rhinolithiasis case incidentally found in a primary septorhinoplasty patient without any previous symptoms.
