“…This findings is also very useful in the choice of the process therapeutic approach (approach, prediction on the difficulties of extraction) and for differential diagnosis that include osteoma, calcified polyps, bone sequestration (syphilis, radiotherapy); osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma [1]. The ideal therapeutic management is based on the extraction of rhinolite by natural routes under general anesthesia with or without fragmentation of rhinoliths [2, 13]. Extraction requires endoscopic approach with rigid optics that ensures good working conditions.…”

Rhinolithiasis is a rare condition often neglected or unknown that tends to disappear in developed countries and corresponds to a solid calcification by gradual deposition of calcareous salts around a central resorbable or non-resorbable foundation of varying shape and size. The most common symptom is a long-term unilateral purulent rhinorrhea and unilateral nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy and imaging are interesting for the positive diagnosis but especially to highlight the anatomical anomalies or related pathologies. Therapeutic management requires endonasal extraction of the rhinolith under general anesthesia. We report an observation of rhinolithiasis treated in our department associating a significant deformation of the nasal pyramid to osteolysis.

“…Rinolit tanısında anterior rinoskopinin dışında, rijit nazal endoskopi ve radyolojik görüntüleme de kullanılır (1)(2)(3)(4)7). Küçük boyutlu asemptomatik rinolitler direkt grafide nazal kaviteyi dolduran, heterojen dansitede ve dalgalı radyoopak konturlar şeklinde izlenirler (1-3).…”

ÖZET Rinolit (burun taşı), nazal kavitede yerleşmiş bir nidus etrafında tuzların birikmesi sonucu meydana gelen mineralize kitledir. Nidus endojen veya ekzojen kaynaklı olabilir. Her yaş grubunda görülebilir. Kadınlarda erkeklere göre daha sık rastlanır. Hastaların başlıca şikayetleri burun tıkanıklığı ve kötü kokulu akıntıdır. Nadiren şikayet oluşturmaz ve nazal pasajı dolduran kitle olarak rutin muayenede rastlantısal olarak tanı konur. Bilgisayarlı tomografide rinolitler tipik olarak homojen yüksek dansitede lezyonlar olarak izlenir. Lezyonun santral kesiminde organik materyal bulunan olgularda hipodansite gözlenebilir. Tedavi rinolitin burundan temizlenmesidir. Bu amaçla rijit nazal endoskopi nazal kavitedeki rinolitin çıkarılmasında başarılı şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda 53 yaşında bayan hastada, sol nazal kavitede, alt meayı koanaya kadar doldurmasına rağmen şikayet oluşturmayan rinolit vakası tartışıldı. (JAREM 2012; 2: 85-6) Anahtar Sözcükler: Epistaksis, nazal kavite, rinolit, tanı, tedavi ABSTRACT Rhinoliths (nasal stones) are mineralized masses around a calcified nidus in the nasal cavity. The nidus may be endogenous or exogenous. It is seen in all ages and shows female predominance.Major symptoms are malodour in the nose and nasal obstruction. Rarely there is no symptom and may be diagnosed on routine examination. It seems a typically homogenous high density lesion in CT scans. Sometimes hypodensity is seen in centrally located organic material in lesions. Treatment is removal of the foreign body. For this purpose, removing the foreign body with rigid nasal endoscopy has produced succesful results. In this case we discussed a 53 year old women who had no symptoms despite having a rinolith in the left nasal cavity which fills the inferior meatus to choana. (JAREM 2012; 2: 85-6)

Foreign bodies in the nose are rarely seen among adults. Rhinoliths are uncommon intranasal foreign bodies that have a very low incidence. They are often asymptomatic may be up to many years and subsequently present with nasal symptoms. We reported a case of an adult man with unilateral rhinolith, who complained of unilateral nasal blockage and foul-smelling nasal discharge. He was diagnosed with rhinolith endoscopically and successfully removed under general anaesthesia.
