Abstract

Concha bullosa is a pneumatization of the turbinates at several degrees. P neumatization of the middle turbinate is generally asymptomatic; however, it may become symptomatic depending on its degree of pneumatization. All giant p neumatizations of the middle turbinate reported in the literature are reported to cause nasal obstruction. In this article, we present a case of asymptomatic giant pneumatization of the middle turbinate that was detected incidentally in a patient who presented with acute tonsillitis infection with sore throat and swallowing difficulty. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first asymptomatic giant pneumatization of the middle turbinate in the literature. In this article, we discussed how pneumatization of the middle turbinate could be symptomatic in the context of this case.

Özet

Konka bülloza, konkaların çeşitli derecelerdeki pnömatizasyonudur. Orta konkanın pnömatizasyonu genellikle asemptomatiktir. Ancak pnömatizasyon derecesine bağlı olarak semptomatik olabilir. Literatürde sunulan tüm orta konka dev pnömatizasyonlarının burun tıkanıklığına neden olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda boğaz ağrısı ve yutma güçlüğü ile başvuran akut tonsillit hastasında rastlantısal saptanan orta konkanın asemptomatik dev pnömatizasyonu olgusu sunulmuştur. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bu literatürdeki ilk orta konkanın asemptomatik dev pnömatizasyonudur. Bu yazıda, bu olgu bağlamında orta konka pnömatizasyonunun nasıl semptomatik olabileceğini tartıştık.
