  • Title: [2 cases of unilateral nasal obstruction related to rhinolithiasis].
    Author: Moulonguet L, Brette MD, Monteil JP.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1995; 112(8):406-9. PubMed ID: 8729405.
    Abstract:
    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.
