Common Reason

Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity in children are a fairly common reason for contacting an otorhinolaryngologist. Most foreign bodies can be removed quite easily. However, some cases are associated with significant difficulties in their searching and removing and require the use of special technical methods and general anesthesia. We present two cases of unusual foreign bodies in the nasal cavity in children.

Background: Rhinoliths are rare affections of the main nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. Initially, as a result of their low incidence, they are often incorrectly classified as calcified tumors in clinical examination. Methodology: We have identified three cases in our patient population and evaluated the clinical symptoms as well as the pathological findings and the causes of the disease. Results: Due to their extension and the respective clinical pattern, all masses were surgically removed under endotracheal anesthesia. The histopathological findings comprised an ectopic tooth, a vegetable (most likely a leaf from the garden) as well as a textile foreign body (probably of iatrogenic origin). Conclusion: Undiscovered foreign bodies of the main nasal cavity are a common cause for the formation of rhinoliths. We have also displayed the respective incidence and the therapeutic options.

Abstract- Nasal foreign bodies are usually received in otolaryngology practice. Although more frequently seen in pediatric patients, also they can affect adults, specifically those with mental retardation or any psychiatric problems. We presented an unusual case of the nasal foreign body, an eraser rhinolith in a 17-year-old boy with mild mental retardation presented with long-lasting nasal obstruction but no chronic infection or epistaxis. Computed tomography revealed a peripherally calcified sub-mucosal round mass in the left nasal cavity. After surgery, a round shape foreign body that looked like an eraser piece was removed from the nasal cavity. Rhinolith can present just with nasal obstruction. With properly diagnosed and appropriate surgery, all rhinoliths can be removed and complication of extraction can be minimized

I would like to report two cases of the endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from the esophagus and stomach in addition to those reported in the article by Christie and Ament (Pediatrics 57:931, June 1976). Both patients were girls, 2 years old. Patient 1 had ingested a quarter which remained in a fixed position on the greater curvature of the stomach for almost four weeks. Fiberoptic endoscopy under general anesthesia with the standard adult instrument (Olympus GIF-D1) demonstrated the quarter.

Mandibular Third Molars

A 23-year-old healthy man was scheduled for extraction of his mandibular third molars under general anesthesia with nasotracheal intubation. Sudden sinus tachycardia up to 170 beats/min occurred when applying an epinephrine solution-soaked swab into the nasal cavity for preventing epistaxis during intubation. This was presumably evoked by submucosal migration of the swab into a false passage created because of the force applied during a prior failed attempt at nasal passage of the tracheal tube, and rapid epinephrine absorption by the traumatized mucosa. The causes of the unexpected severe tachycardia in our patient are discussed.

Psychiatric Problems

Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity are rarely seen in adults, and most cases are traumatic in origin. Multiple foreign bodies in adults are particularly rare. Foreign bodies induce pain, bleeding, and infection but are easily removed in most cases. A patient presented with multiple toothpick foreign bodies in the nasal cavity, which were introduced intentionally through an oroantral fistula. We report an adult case with 37 toothpicks in the nasal cavity, which were removed successfully with a nasal endoscope. Oroantral fistula closure was achieved through oral surgery. Voluntary insertion of foreign bodies into the body by patients with mental illnesses is relatively difficult to identify. Evaluating and managing the psychiatric problems of such patients during treatment planning are necessary.

Rhinoliths are mineralised foreign bodies in the nasal cavity that are a chance finding at anterior rhinoscopy. Undiscovered, they grow appreciably in size and can cause a foul-smelling nasal discharge and breathing problems. Giant nasal stones are now a very rare occurrence, since improved diagnostic techniques, such as endoscopic/microscopic rhinoscopy, now make it possible to identify foreign bodies at an early stage of development. We report the case of a 37-year-old patient who, at the age of 5-6 years, introduced a foreign body, probably a stone, into his right nasal cavity. On presentation, he complained of difficulty in breathing through the right nostril that had persisted for the last 10 years. For the past four years a strong fetid smell from the nose had been apparent to those in his vicinity. Under general anaesthesia, the stone was removed in toto from the right nasal cavity. The possible genesis of the rhinolith is discussed, our case compared with those described in the literature, and possible differential diagnoses are considered.

Sinus Drainage

In this paper, an improvement of the maxillary sinus drainage after the remotion of foreign bodies by Caldwell-Luc surgery is developed. Three patients with tooth or radicular apex introduced into the maxillary antrum during dental extraction were submitted to the surgery. In contrast to the opening to the nasal cavity, two probes were installed to perform the irrigation and aspiration of the antrum after the surgery. The conclusions are that the use of the probes is an advance in the Caldwell-Luc surgery. With the irrigation and aspiration, the opening to the nasal cavity is not necessary and the result is a comfortable recovery to the patient. The Caldwell-Luc surgery is a safe and simple procedure to remove foreign bodies from the maxillary sinus.
