چکیده
As endoscopic sinus surgery has been used widely in sinus pathologies and advancements in computerized tomography technologies, the importance of the lateral nasal wall anatomy and its variations has been emphasized more commonly. In evaluation of endoscopic and radiological anatomy of paranasal sinuses attention must be paid to these variations. Concha bullosa which is an anatomical variation of paranasal region, is pneumatization of middle conchal bone. Concha bullosa can be unior bilateral and if it is unilateral, it is accompanied usually by a contralateral septal deviation. Ethmoid bulla is an anterior ethmoidal cell. Its size, shape and drainage may show differences among people. In this case we present a big ethmoid bulla invaginating into a giant concha bullosa.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of middle turbinate pneumatization, or concha bullosa, has been well described in the literature. However, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated concha bullosa in relation to nasal septal deviation. We sought to analyze the incidence of concha bullosa and any correlation with nasal septal deviation and paranasal sinus disease. METHODS Three neuroradiolo...
متن کاملConcha bullosa of the inferior turbinate: an unusual cause of nasal obstruction
Turbinate pneumatisation, also known as concha bullosa, refers to the existence of an air cell inside the turbinate. While pneumatization of the middle and superior turbinates are common, the presence of pneumatization of the inferior turbinate, otherwise known as an inferior concha bullosa is very rare. Herewith, a case is presented of bilateral hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates associate...
