Abstract

Intranasal tooth is a rare phenomenon. The clinical manifestations of an intranasal tooth are quite variable. Unilateral nasal obstruction is a common complaint. In this case, a 14-year-old girl presented with left nasal obstruction. Anterior rhinoscopy and endoscopic examination showed the tooth-like lesion in the left nasal cavity. Computed Tomography (CT) scanning is helpful in the diagnosis and treatment planning. After a complete evaluation, the patient underwent transnasal endoscopic removal of the lesion. In the present study, the clinical and radiological findings of a nasal tooth is reported.
