Doctors removed a tooth.
For several years, 38-year-old the New Yorker suffered from shortness of breath in his right nostril. The man decided to fix this problem a few years after its appearance.
Gizmodo writes about this.
As a result of the examination, doctors discovered a deviated nasal septum and “white bone mass, sticking out from the bottom of the nostril. “
After analysis using computed tomography, the doctors accurately determined that this mass is a tooth growing where it should not be. It was an ectopic tooth, and they can arise for various reasons.
With the help of a surgical intervention, a 14 mm tooth was removed.
According to doctors, such ectopic teeth appear very rarely, it is can occur from 0.1% to 1% of people. But most of the time, these teeth remain in the mouth and are easy to spot. And very rarely, an inverted tooth can occur, which can penetrate the nasal cavity.
