Rhinolithiasis: a disorder not to be approached transorally
HC Schwartz
Rhinolithiasis is a disorder that results from the calcification of intranasal foreign bodies. An unusual case is presented in which a rhinolith was discovered on a maxillary occlusal radiograph. The rhinolith was initially confused with a lesion of the palate. Precise localization of lesions is mandatory before transoral exploration is attempted.
