Internal nasal dilators are widely used but have not been reported to cause severe symptoms. We describe a case in which a male adult had accidentally, during sleep, inhaled a nasal dilator into his right nasal cavity, and we review the relevant literature. A PubMed search was performed of nasal dilators, especially of the internal types, including “Nasaline Snooze'” (ENTPro, Stockholm, Sweden). A foreign body in adults may be an inhaled nasal dilator. It may be overlooked on computed tomography scans, and thorough inspection of the nose is diagnostic.

Rhinolithiasis is a rare pathological phenomenon, according to statistics, the incidence of rhinolith is about 1 person per 10,000 otolaryngological outpatients. Often, rhinolith is accompanied by an asymptomatic course and often becomes an accidental finding. Lack of vigilance of the otorhinolaryngologist and neglect of the possibility of using computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses, first of all, at the first stage of the patient’s treatment in an outpatient setting, often leads to an untimely diagnosis of this disease. Meanwhile, late diagnosis of rhinolith can lead to the development of purulent processes, dystrophic and atrophic changes in the nasal mucosa, naso-oral fistulas, dacryocystitis, osteomyelitis and the formation of an epidural abscess. The article presents a case of prolonged (more than 22 years) presence of a foreign body in the nasal cavity in a 26-year-old female patient, which led to the formation of rhinolith. Despite the long-term complaints and clinical manifestations of the disease with constant visits to the otorhinolaryngologist, the patient did not undergo computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses. The prescribed instrumental examinations (CT scan of the paranasal sinuses and endovideoscopy of the nasal cavity) at the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose and Speech allowed us to diagnose rhinolitis of the nasal cavity and successfully carry out surgical treatment.

Esophageal diverticulum with secondary bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical entity that manifests as respiratory infections, coughing during eating or drinking, hemoptysis, and sometimes fatal complications. In the present study, we describe a case of bronchoesophageal fistula emanating from esophageal diverticulum in a 45-year-old man who presented with bronchiectasis. We summarize the characteristics of this rare condition based on a review of the relevant literature.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Meconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is a soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. A lack of awareness of this rare disease may lead to unnecessary surgery of scrotal masses. It can resolve spontaneously without compromising the testicle. Scrotal ultrasound is the mainstay of imaging and abdominal plain film is less sensitive but can help in the diagnosis. We report a case of a meconium periorchitis and discuss its radiological and histological features. We also review the relevant literature.
