    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Mineralogy
    • Crystallography

    Background:

    • Nasal stones (rhinoliths) are rare formations within the nasal cavity.
    • Their etiology and clinical manifestations are not fully understood.
    • Understanding the composition of nasal stones is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the composition of nasal stones.
    • To discuss the etiology and clinical presentation of rhinoliths.

    Main Methods:

    • Extraction of five nasal stones from five patients.
    • Crystallographic analysis using X-ray diffraction techniques.

    Main Results:

    • The composition of all analyzed nasal stones was identified as calcium phosphate.
    • The study discussed the clinical picture and potential causes of these rhinoliths.

    Conclusions:

    • Nasal stones are primarily composed of calcium phosphate.
    • Further research into the etiology and clinical management of rhinoliths is warranted.
