  • To review the clinical presentation of patients diagnosed with rhinoliths.
  • To analyze diagnostic work-up and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 8 patients.
  • Analysis of clinical, radiological, and demographic data.

Main Results:

  • Patients commonly presented with nonspecific nasal complaints, including purulent rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction.
  • Rhinoliths were incidentally discovered in some cases.
