Resumo: Purpose: Rhinolith is a calcification that occurs in the nasal cavity and may be discovered during routine radiographic exam. This calcification is rare, generally single, exogenous or endogenous, unilateral, and asymptomatic. It can cause nasal obstruction, fetid odour and purulent secretion. This study reported a case of rhinolith and its radiographic features. Case description: A female, 14-year-old patient had a radiopaque mass in the right nasal cavity. The primary treatment plan included oral surgery to remove a supposed impacted supernumerary tooth, which diagnosis was based on conventional radiographic exams. After an unsuccessful surgery, additional exam with computed tomography showed images compatible with a rhinolith. Conclusion: Computed tomographic scans are required for differential diagnosis of pathologies in the nasal cavity to provide proper treatment.

Esta massa calcificada é rara, pode exógena ou endógena, geralmente ocorre isoladamente, unilateral e assintomática. Pode causar obstrução nasal, odor fétido e secreção purulenta. Este estudo objetivou apresentar um caso de rinólito e suas características radiográficas. Descrição do caso: Uma paciente do sexo feminino, 14 anos de idade, tinha uma massa radiopaca na cavidade nasal direita. O tratamento odontológico primário incluía uma cirurgia para a remoção de um suposto dente supranumerário impactado diagnosticado após exames de radiografia convencional. Devido ao insucesso da cirurgia, foi realizado um exame por tomografia computadorizada e foi diagnosticado o rinólito. Conclusão: Exames de tomografia computadorizada adequados são necessários para o diagnóstico diferencial de patologias na cavidade nasal para proporcionar um tratamento adequado.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2012-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/9323Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2012); 170 - 173Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 27 n. 2 (2012); 170 - 1731980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/9323/8223Manzi, FlavioPeyneau, PriscilaPiassi, FernandaMachado, ViniciusLopes, Andreainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T11:29:21Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/9323Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T11:29:21Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
