Rhinoliths are uncommon clinical entities reported in clinical practice as unusual cause of unilateral nasal obstruction and foul smell nasal discharge. Rhinolith is calcified material found in the nasal cavity incidentally or due to patient complaint. It should be suspected when patient presents with nasal symptoms and found to have stony mass showed radiologically. We reported a 28-year-old Saudi male with left sided (LT) nasal obstruction and foul smell discharge for 5 years suspected as being due to foreign body presence since childhood due to head trauma following car accident in sandy area.
鼻石是临床实践中报道的罕见病症,是单侧鼻塞和恶臭鼻分泌物的不寻常原因。鼻石是在鼻腔中偶然发现的钙化物质,或是因患者主诉而发现。当患者出现鼻部症状且经影像学检查发现有结石样肿物时,应怀疑鼻石。我们报告了一名28岁的沙特男性,左侧鼻塞伴恶臭分泌物5年,因儿童时期在沙地发生车祸头部受伤后怀疑有异物存留。
