Abstract

Concha bullosa is the most common anatomic variant of the middle turbinate. Concha bullosa involving inferior and superior turbinate are rare. Clinically, concha bullosa presents usually asymptomatic but it can cause nasal obstruction, headache, obstruction of ostiomeatal complex and lead to sinusitis. Occurrence of pyosel, mycetoma and polyp inside the concha bullosa are rare. Obstruction of the concha bullosa mucociliary transport can lead to the development of a mucocele and, in the event of a secondary infection, a mucopyocele. We report a case of a large concha bullosa mucopyocele causing unilateral nasal obstruction and headache.

Özet

Konka bülloza orta konkanın en sık rastlanılan anatomik varyasyonudur. Nadiren alt ve üst konkalarda pnömatizasyon görülebilir. Genellikle asemptomatik olmakla birlikte burun tıkanıklığı, baş ağrısı ve osteomeatal komplekste tıkanıklığa neden olarak sinüzite neden olabilirler. Konka bülloza içinde piyosel, miçetoma ve polip gelişimi nadiren görülebilir. Bülloz orta konkanın mukosiliyer transportunun engellenmesi sonucu mukosel gelişebilir ve mukoselin enfekte olması ile konka bülloza mukopiyoseli oluşabilmektedir. Bu vaka sunumunda tek taraflı burun tıkanıklığına ve baş ağrısına neden olan dev orta konka mukopiyoseli sunulmuştur.
