🚩Klippel-Feil syndrome with wasp waist sign


The wasp-waist sign is a radiographic appearance seen in patients with congenital block vertebra such as Klippel Feil syndrome.
It results from the fusion of the vertebral bodies such that the anteroposterior diameter at the level of the affected discovertebral joint is smaller than the diameter at the superior and inferior limits of the vertebrae adjacent to uninvolved discs.

🚩Rhinolith:


A large, irregular, densely calcified mass occupying the left nasal cavity, extending posteriorly into the choana. Associated expansion of the nasal cavity, non-visualization of the left turbinates, and remodeling with focal erosion of the hard palate were noted.

✅️Rhinoliths, also known as nasal calculi, are rare calcified lesions in the nasal cavity that usually result from a chronic inflammatory response to intranasal foreign bodies.
