Abstract

Pneumatized superior concha is a rare cause of headache. Nasal endoscopy may not give sufficient information for diagnosis and coronal computerized tomography might be needed to confirm the exact diagnosis. A 52-year-old female patient with a complaint of chronic headache unresponsive to medical treatment for 6 months was admitted to our clinic. Endoscopic sinus surgery was commenced after the diagnosis of over pneumatized superior concha by physical examination and imaging techniques. Patient's complaints were relieved after the operation

Özet

Pnömatize süperior konka nadir bir başağrısı sebebidir. Nazal endoskopi, tanı için yetersiz kalabilir ve tanının doğrulanması için koronal bilgisayarlı tomografi gerekir. Medikal tedaviye rağmen 6 aydır baş ağrısı yakınması olan 52 yaşında bayan hasta kliniğimize başvurdu. Muayene ve görüntüleme yöntemleri sonucunda süperior konkada aşırı pnömatizasyon saptanan hastaya endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi uygulandı. Postoperatif dönemde hastanın şikayetlerinin gerilediği izlendi
