RESUMO
Rhinoliths or nasal stones result from calcification of a nidus within the nasal cavity. Though nasal foreign bodies are not uncommon, rhinoliths are rare and are distinguished from intranasal foreign bodies by mineral deposition and encrustation. We report a case of a 30 year old lady with a thalassemia minor who was diagnosed to have a rhinolith by computerized tomography [CT] and underwent successful surgical removal of the lesion. CT scan of the paranasal sinuses is the radiological investigation of choice in this condition
