Rinolit çocuk ve gençlerde
nadir görülen bir burun içi kitledir. Baş ağrısı ve aralıklı burun tıkanıklığı
şikâyetleri ile polikliniğe başvuran 55 yaşındaki kadın olgunun
değerlendirilmesidir. Olgunun nazal endoskopisinde normal görünümlü mukoza ile
kaplı sol hipertrofik orta konka saptandı. Olgu önerilen endoskopik sinüs
cerrahisi ile orta türbinektomiyi reddetti ve takiplerine gelmedi. Burun
içerisinde görülen kitlelerin ayırıcı
tanısında rinolit göz önüne alınmalı ve radyolojik incelemenin önemi (özellikle
bilgisayarlı tomografi) ve ayrıca kulak-burun-boğaz rutinin fizik muayenesi
unutulmamalıdır.

FIRSTLY DESCRIBED A RHINOLITH CASE IN AN AERATED MIDDLE NASAL TURBINATE
Rhinolith is an uncommon
nasal mass in children and adolescents.In a case where a 55-year-old woman went
to polyclnic with headache and intermittent nasal obstruction complaints,
normal-appearing hypertrophic left middle concha covered with mucosa was
determined in the nasal endoscopy. The patient denied the middle turbinectomy with
endoscopic sinus surgery recommended for the case and did not show up for the follow-ups.
Rhinolith must be considered at differential diagnosis of masses observed in nasal
structures and significance of radiologic inspection (especially computed tomography)should
not be forgotten as well as the routine physical examination of
otorhinolaryngology
