INTRODUCTION Cholesteatoma is a relatively common disease within the middle ear cavity, but rarely it manifests in the paranasal sinuses. There is, to the best of our knowledge, only one other published case of cholesteatoma inside the concha bullosa in the English language literature. CASE PRESENTATION An 81-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of nasal obstructi...

The nasal region plays a key role in sensory, thermal, and respiratory physiology, but exploring its evolution is hampered by a lack of preservation of soft-tissue structures in extinct vertebrates. As a test case, we investigated members of the "bony-headed" ornithischian dinosaur clade Pachycephalosauridae (particularly Stegoceras validum) because of their small body size (which mitigated all...

BACKGROUND To construct a sophisticated three-dimensional framework, numerous modifications have been reported in the literature. However, most surgeons have paid little attention to the anatomical configuration of the concha and more to its deepness and hollowness, leading to unsatisfactory outcomes. METHODS For a configuration of the concha that is definitely anatomical, the author further ...

conclusions among anatomic variations, septal deviation and concha bullosa are predisposing factors for chronic sinusitis and we recommend that patients with chronic sinusitis be treated by surgical procedures. background identifying predisposing factors for chronic sinusitis is very important. objectives anatomical variation of the lateral nasal wall has been investigated in several studies an...

OBJECTIVE To study the benefit of surgery in different types of isolated concha bullosa. DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Academic Medical Center. PATIENTS Forty seven symptomatic patients complaining of nasal congestion and block, headache and facial pain having concha bullosa without any other sinonasal finding. Their conchae bullosa were classified as lamellar, bulbous and exten...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that can be caused by anatomic variations of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In this study we aimed to find the relationship between sinusitis and septal deviation (SeD) and concha bullosa. METHODS Two trained resident of ENT evaluated sinus CT scans of 463 cases presenting with nasal obstruction or chronic...
