title: Asymmetric adenoid hypertrophy in a patient with ipsilateral rhinolithiasis: an overlooked entity?
abstract: The aim of this article is to present a rhinolithiasis patient with a significant asymmetric adenoid hypertrophy on the same side and to describe possible mechanisms for this clinical entity. Careful nasopharyngoscopy after removal of rhinolith is mandatory not to overlook significant adenoid hypertrophy which may interfere with patients' symptoms. The role of paranasal CT scan in the diagnosis of an asymmetric adenoid hypertrophy in rhinolithiasis patients is also discussed.
