Abstract
|
|
|
|
Concha bullosa (CB) is the pneumatization of the middle turbinate. Although CB alone is usually asymptomatic, CB may be so extensive that it can come into intimate contact with large areas of the nasal septum and the lateral wall of the middle meatus, predisposing the patient to nasal obstruction and recurrent headaches. Herein, we report an uncommon case of huge CB extending to the nasal vestibule and occluding the whole nasal cavity.
