Abstract

Rhinoliths are a rare cause of nasal obstruction but may also present with other symptoms including nasal bleed. We report a case of a rapidly evolving rhinolith in a patient presenting with the complaint of recurrent epistaxis for 2 years. A high index of suspicion is needed for diagnosing this condition.
