Abstract EN
Pneumatization of the intranasal turbinates or concha bullosa is an anatomic variation of the lateral nasal wall.
Concha bullosa is defined as the presence of air cells in turbinates.
It can be best diagnosed with paranasal sinus computed tomography.
Concha bullosa is a possible etiologic factor for recurrent sinusitis due to its negative effect on paranasal sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance.
Concha bullosa is most commonly seen in the middle turbinate and less frequently in the inferior or superior turbinate.
Pneumatization of all turbinates is very rare.
To our knowledge, there are only two publications about a case with concha bullosa in all turbinates in the current literature.
Here, we present a woman with bilateral pneumatization in all three intranasal turbinates.
