Superior concha bullosa is a rare finding, and only a few cases of inferior concha bullosa have been reported in the medical literature. When symptomatic, concha bullosa may cause various problems including nasal congestion, headache, postnasal drip, anosmia and, sometimes, epiphora.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215112002514_sec2\"><jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Computed tomography, following history-taking and physical examination, is a valuable tool in diagnosing turbinate pneumatisation. This article presents a very rare case with bilateral triple conchae pneumatisations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215112002514_sec3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment options for cases of multiple concha bullosa are discussed.

In such cases, we propose that this condition be termed \u2018conchae bullosis\u2019 rather than \u2018conchae bullosa\u2019, in a similar fashion to the use of nasal polyposis as the plural form of nasal polyp.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215112002514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]],"date-time":"2012-11-20T09:38:29Z","timestamp":1353404309000},"page":"73-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["\u2018Conchae bullosis\u2019: a rare case with bilateral triple turbinate pneumatisations"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"127","author":[{"given":"O","family":"Ozturan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Yenigun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Degirmenci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Yilmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref9","first-page":"109","article-title":"Pneumatization of the concha inferior as a cause of nasal obstruction","volume":"39","author":"Cankaya","year":"2001","journal-title":"Rhinology"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-198809010-00012"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2310\/7070.2002.19259"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200304000-00016"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940211100117"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Disease of the Sinuses","author":"Bolger","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-57153-4_2"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref7","first-page":"160","volume-title":"Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery","author":"Stammberger","year":"1991"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(99)90024-8"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr\/31644208"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref6","first-page":"133","article-title":"Inferior concha bullosa \u2013 a radiological and clinical rarity","volume":"37","author":"Dawlaty","year":"1999","journal-title":"Rhinology"},{"key":"S0022215112002514_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crad.2008.01.011"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp; Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0022215112002514","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]],"date-time":"2019-04-24T16:27:18Z","timestamp":1556123238000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0022215112002514\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}},"alternative-id":["S0022215112002514"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0022215112002514","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-2151","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-5460","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]]}}}
