Rhinological manifestations included adenoid hypertrophy/ hyperplasia (41.56%; n = 64), allergy-like symptoms (12.34%; n = 19), sinusitis (7.79%; n = 12), epistaxis (3.9%; n = 6),
atrophic rhinitis (nose bleeding) (2.6%; n = 4), nasal polyposis (2.6%; n = 4), septal perforations (1.3%; n = 2) and nasal neoplasm (inverting papilloma) (0.65%; n = 1) (Fig.
Rhinoliths cause rhinitis which may lead to complications including nasal polyps,
atrophic rhinitis, septal perforation and oroantral fistula (2).
