Description
Rhinolithiasis is a rare condition in our current practice. We report the case of a 19 year old woman, presenting with a double symptom marked by rhinorrhea and chronic unilateral nasal obstruction evolving since the age of 7 years, without any known foreign body. Rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy coupled with CT scan were decisive examinations for the positive diagnosis. The therapeutic management consisted in the extraction of the rhinolithiasis resulting in the vacuity of the nasal cavity. The evolution was favorable with simple postoperative courses.
