Ectopic teeth in the nasal cavity are a rare phenomenon. They are often associated with a variety of symptoms and future complications, ranging from nasal crusting and obstruction to chronic infections. In most reported cases, their removal is recommended. Here, we report a case of an ectopic intranasal tooth in a symptomatic adult. The tooth was removed endoscopically with good results.
