Abstract

We report a rhinolith that caused total nasal obstruction and that could not be removed simply. It was reduced in size by a lithotripter, as used for stone disintegration in urology, and then removed. This method is suggested in all cases where removal of the rhinolith cannot be performed non-invasively and the rhinolith can be seen by the endoscope.
