Abstract

Rhinolith is a kind of stone which is formed in nasal cavity. Since formation of rhinolith is not common, patients with rhinolith are often misdiagnosed as cases of acute sinusitis. We are reporting a 45-years old female presenting with rhinorrhea, left nasal obstruction and chronic headache for two years who were initially diagnosed as a case of recurrent sinusitis. Later endoscopic examination, radiological and histopathological investigations confirmed presence of rhinolith.
