This study reports a rare case of a rhinolith in the paranasal sinus, discovered without prior trauma or surgery. The concretion was successfully removed and analyzed, offering insights into sinus health.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Rhinoliths, or nasal stones, are typically associated with sinus trauma, surgery, or foreign bodies.
  • Unilateral chronic rhinosinusitis is a common condition often managed with conservative treatments.

Observation:

  • A patient with chronic rhinosinusitis, treated solely with anti-inflammatory agents, presented with a high-density concretion in the paranasal sinus.
  • The patient had no history of trauma or prior sinus surgery.

Findings:

  • Tomography confirmed a dense concretion within the paranasal sinus.
  • A solid rhinolith was surgically removed using the Caldwell-Luc procedure.
  • Spectrographic and electron microscopic analyses were performed on the removed rhinolith.

Implications:

  • This case highlights that rhinoliths can form in the absence of typical predisposing factors like trauma or surgery.
  • Understanding the etiology of idiopathic rhinoliths is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Further research into the formation mechanisms of such concretions may improve management strategies for chronic rhinosinusitis.
