Authors report two cases of 31 and 42 year old women who for many years had a unilateral nasal obstruction: first case due to a large polyp, second one due to a mucosal inflammation but both caused by a rhinolithiasis. The latter is formed over several years around a vegetable seed or a piece of material neglected since childhood. The rhinolithiasis is a calcareous concretion formed in layers visible by X-rays. This type of growth is usually enhanced by weak economic development of certain countries.
作者报告了两例分别为31岁和42岁女性的病例，她们多年来一直存在单侧鼻塞：第一例是由于一个大息肉，第二例是由于黏膜炎症，但二者均由鼻石症引起。鼻石症是在数年时间里围绕一颗蔬菜种子或一块自童年起就被遗忘的异物形成的。鼻石症是一种呈层状形成的钙质结石，X射线可见。这种情况在某些经济发展薄弱的国家通常更为常见。
