  • They can lead to significant symptoms and complications.
  • Understanding their presentation and management is crucial for otolaryngologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with rhinolithiasis.
  • To identify common symptoms and associated conditions in rhinolithiasis cases.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of intranasal extraction for rhinolith removal.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 12 patients diagnosed with rhinolithiasis.
  • Surgical intervention performed at the 2nd ENT Clinic of Ankara Numune Hospital.

  • Data collection on symptoms, associated diseases, and surgical procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Nasal obstruction was the most frequent symptom, reported in 9 out of 12 patients.
    • Chronic sinusitis was the most common co-existing condition.
    • All rhinoliths were successfully removed through an intranasal approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Intranasal surgical extraction is an effective treatment for rhinolithiasis.
    • Nasal obstruction is a primary indicator of rhinolithiasis.
    • Rhinolithiasis frequently presents with or predisposes to chronic sinusitis.
