The rhinolith is massed in a mineral nugget in the nasal cavity, which is the result of the accumulation of salts around the nidus. The nidus may be endogenous or exogenous. Long-term and unilateral nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, pain and malodor are major complaints. However, sometimes, they may not show any signs for years and maybe detected incidentally during a routine examination. In this study, we present a case of giant rhinolith with headache and nasal obstruction complaints.
鼻石是鼻腔内矿物质团块，由围绕核心的盐类物质积聚而成。核心可能是内源性的或外源性的。主要症状为长期单侧鼻塞、流涕、疼痛和恶臭。然而，有时患者多年可能无任何症状，可能在常规检查中偶然发现。在本研究中，我们报告一例有头痛和鼻塞症状的巨大鼻石病例。
