ABSTRACT

We present a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with complaints of nasal congestion, intermittent throat pain, and odynophagia. He was taken to the operating room for inferior turbinate reduction and adenoidectomy and found to have stones within adenoid crypts. Adenoidectomy resulted in resolution of the patient's throat pain and pain with swallowing. Not pre viously described in the literature, adenoid stones may represent an unrecognized etiology of odynophagia and throat pain in the pediatric population. Adenoidectomy should be considered for patients symptomatic from adenoid stones.
