Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2002

Abstract

Pneumatization of the middle turbinate and, less commonly, of the superior turbinate is known as concha bullosa.' Inferior concha bullosa (ICB) is an aircontaining structure in the body of the inferior turbinate that may communicate with the maxillary sinus. Although concha bullosa of the middle turbinate is very common, ICB is extremely rare.? In the English-language literature, there are 3 reported unilateral ICBs and I bilateral ICB.2-4Herein, we present a case of bilateral ICB associated with unilateral concha bullosa of the middle turbinate, septal pneumatization, and unilateral overpneumatized ethmoidal bulla.
