[Chronic unilateral rhinorrhea in childhood].

Abstract

A 13-year-old patient was referred to the ENT department because of a ring-shaped radiopaque foreign body in her right nasal cavity demonstrated on an orthopantomogram. Her medical history revealed long-standing right-sided rhinorrhea thought to be caused by an inhalation allergy. In case of unilateral rhinorrhea in a child a nasal foreign body has to be excluded.
