Abstract
Sinoliths are very rare calculi found particularly in maxillary, frontal and ethmoid sinuses.Sinolith present in the maxillary antrum is also called as antrolith. The origin of the nidus of calcification may be extrinsic (foreign body in sinus) or intrinsic (stagnant mucus and fungal ball). Most antroliths are small and asymptomatic. Larger ones may present as sinusitis with symptoms like pain and discharge. An antrolith causing only epistaxis without associated sinusitis is very rare. We report a case of 55 yr. old male who came with h/o epistaxis. On evaluation the CT shows the presence of antrolith in the left maxillary sinus.Caldwell-luc operation was done and the antrolith was removed. We report this case because of its rarity.
