Abstract

Concha bullosa is generally defined as the pneumatization of the middle turbinate and, rarely, of the superior or the inferior turbinates. A symptomatic pneumatization of the superior turbinate is extremely rare. When symptomatic, concha bullosa may cause various problems. Concha bullosa can be easily recognized in paranasal sinus computed tomography. In this article we present a very rare case with bilateral pneumatization of the superior turbinates in a patient with relevant symptomatology.

Özet

Konka bülloza, genellikle orta konkanın ve nadir olarak da üst veya alt konkaların pnömatizasyonu olarak tanımlanır. Üst konkanın semptomatik bir pnömatizasyonu oldukça nadirdir. Semptomatik olduğunda konka bülloza çeşitli sorunlara neden olabilir. Konka bülloza paranazal sinüs bilgisayarlı tomografi ile kolayca saptanır. Bu makalede iki taraflı üst konka büllozalı oldukça nadir bir olgu ilişkili semptomlarıyla birlikte sunuldu
