case_images: The beginning of the symptomatology goes back to 4 years by the progressive installation of a right nasal obstruction associated with an anterior and posterior fetid chronic rhinorrhea unimpeded by well-conducted antibiotic treatment with occurrence of a progressive deformation of the ipsilateral nasal pyramid (Figure 1).

case_images: The nasosinusal tomodensitometry examination showed 3 cm long axis calcium density opacity, with a hypodensity at its center, with destruction of medial wall of maxillary sinus which led us to make the diagnosis of rhinolithiasis (Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4 ).

case_images: The extraction was carried out under general anesthesia under control of a rigid endoscope 0 , a hook having allowed the rhinolite to be brought from back to front (Figure 5) and a lower turbinectomy was performed due to its incarceration at the level of the inferior turbinate (Figure 6, Figure 7).
