Abstract

Recurrent nasal obstruction, a common symptom in pediatric practice, can lead to some unusual diagnosis rarely. Non- response to standard treatment warrants further delineation of local anatomy, particularly if symptoms occur unilaterally. Here, we report a case of recurrent unilateral nasal obstruction in a 16 years old girl not amenable to conventional treatment with medicines, which on subsequent investigations revealed an impacted intranasal tooth.
