Rhinolith must be considered at differential diagnosis of masses observed in nasal structures and significance of radiologic inspection (especially computed tomography)should not be forgotten as well as the routine physical examination of otorhinolaryngology

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Rhinolith is an uncommon nasal mass in children and adolescents.In a case where a 55-year-old woman went to polyclnic with headache and intermittent nasal obstruction complaints, normal-appearing hypertrophic left middle concha covered with mucosa was determined in the nasal endoscopy.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The patient denied the middle turbinectomy with endoscopic sinus surgery recommended for the case and did not show up for the follow-ups.

Abstract

Rhinolith is an uncommon nasal mass in children and adolescents.In a case where a 55-year-old woman went to polyclnic with headache and intermittent nasal obstruction complaints, normal-appearing hypertrophic left middle concha covered with mucosa was determined in the nasal endoscopy. The patient denied the middle turbinectomy with endoscopic sinus surgery recommended for the case and did not show up for the follow-ups. Rhinolith must be considered at differential diagnosis of masses observed in nasal structures and significance of radiologic inspection (especially computed tomography)should not be forgotten as well as the routine physical examination of otorhinolaryngology

Özet

Rinolit çocuk ve gençlerde nadir görülen bir burun içi kitledir. Baş ağrısı ve aralıklı burun tıkanıklığı şikâyetleri ile polikliniğe başvuran 55 yaşındaki kadın olgunun değerlendirilmesidir. Olgunun nazal endoskopisinde normal görünümlü mukoza ile kaplı sol hipertrofik orta konka saptandı. Olgu önerilen endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi ile orta türbinektomiyi reddetti ve takiplerine gelmedi. Burun içerisinde görülen kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında rinolit göz önüne alınmalı ve radyolojik incelemenin önemi (özellikle bilgisayarlı tomografi) ve ayrıca kulak-burun-boğaz rutinin fizik muayenesi unutulmamalıdır.
