Nose stone

Nasal introduction Nasal stones, also called nasal stones, are a rare disease in the nasal cavity. The shape of the nose stone often appears irregular according to the spatial pattern, which occurs mostly under the unilateral nasal cavity. The nasal passage and the nasal floor are common parts, and the largest one can reach the maxillary sinus. The disease is more common in adults, slow onset, longer course, unilateral nasal obstruction, gradually worsening, increased secretions in the nasal cavity, sometimes bleeding, dizziness, headache and other symptoms. The disease is slow onset, unilateral nasal obstruction, gradually worsening, increased secretions in the nasal cavity, sometimes bleeding, dizziness, headache, etc. Before using the nose to inhale the purulent secretions in the nasal cavity, you can find the surface is not smooth, mulberry-like or sand-like hard material, can be yellow, gray, brown, green hybrid color, can be used to help diagnose . The larger one can compress the nasal septum and deflect it to the opposite side or perforation. X-rays determine their size and shape. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.005% Susceptible people: good for adult men and women Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: headache

Nasal cause

Foreign body stimulation (60%):

Exogenous or endogenous foreign bodies in the nasal cavity, and the foreign substances as the core, inflammatory exudates such as nasal secretions, tears and other inorganic salts which are concentrated and decomposed by gas flow are deposited around the core and become enlarged over time. Nose stone. The deposited salts are mainly calcium phosphate, ammonium phosphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium chloride, etc., because of the different components, the appearance of the color is also yellow, gray, brown, green, etc., the endolithic endogenous foreign body is The core, often disappeared due to long-term deterioration, is called a nuclear-free stone.

The shape of the nose stone is often irregular due to the different spatial patterns. The lower nasal passage and the nasal floor are common parts, and the largest one can reach the maxillary sinus.

Nose stone prevention

The shape of the nose stone is often irregular due to the different spatial patterns. The lower nasal passage and the nasal floor are common parts, and the largest one can reach the maxillary sinus. Nasal stone is slow onset, and the course of disease is longer. It is unilateral nasal obstruction, gradually worsening, nasal secretions increase, and sometimes bleeding, dizziness, headache and other symptoms. No effective preventive measures for nasal stones, early diagnosis and early treatment is the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease. Misdiagnosed as sinusitis, need to be identified.

1, the onset is slow, unilateral nasal obstruction, gradually worsening, increased secretions in the nasal cavity, sometimes bleeding and dizziness, headache and so on.

2, with a prosthetic examination, aspirate the purulent secretions in the nasal cavity, you can find the surface is not smooth, mulberry-like or sand-like hard material, can be yellow, gray, brown, green hybrid color, available probe Help with diagnosis.

3, the nose stone can compress the nasal septum, making it biased to the opposite side or perforation, X-ray film can determine its size and shape.

Nasal examination

Nasal and pathological biopsy : In the nose examination, some stones are often covered by granulation tissue, which is easily misdiagnosed as a tumor. For difficult cases, pathological biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Spiral CT: clearly shows the location, size, shape, number, location and extent of the nose stone.

Nasal diagnosis

Diagnosis: The disease is slow onset, unilateral nasal obstruction, gradually worsening, increased secretions in the nasal cavity, sometimes bleeding, dizziness, headache, etc. Before using the nose to inhale the purulent secretions in the nasal cavity, you can find the surface is not smooth, mulberry-like or sand-like hard material, can be yellow, gray, brown, green hybrid color, can be used to help diagnose . The larger one can compress the nasal septum and deflect it to the opposite side or perforation. X-rays determine their size and shape.

Identification: easy to be misdiagnosed as sinusitis, need to be identified.
