Abstract:
Concha bullosa (CB) manifests as a commonly encountered anatomical variant within the middle turbinate; nevertheless, the incidence of sinusitis attributable to CB is notably uncommon. This case represents chronic rhinosinusitis associated with an unusually massive bilateral CB reaching the floor of the nasal cavity which was treated surgically by performing functional endoscopic sinus surgery and partial middle turbinectomy. This case report aims to contribute to the existing knowledge in the field of otolaryngology by elucidating the surgical options associated with massive middle turbinate CB and ultimately improving the care provided by otolaryngology surgeons for patients with similar conditions.
摘要:
大疱孔(CB)表现为中鼻甲中常见的解剖变体;尽管如此,由CB引起的鼻窦炎的发生率非常罕见。此病例代表慢性鼻窦炎,与异常巨大的双侧CB到达鼻腔底部有关,通过进行功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术和部分中鼻甲切除术进行了手术治疗。本病例报告旨在通过阐明与巨大的中鼻甲CB相关的手术选择,并最终改善耳鼻咽喉科外科医生为类似疾病患者提供的护理,从而为耳鼻咽喉科领域的现有知识做出贡献。
