Concha bullosa of an inferior turbinate.
Pneumatization of the inferior turbinate is a rare intranasal anatomic variant. In the English-language world literature, only 10 cases of inferior turbinate concha bullosa have been reported. We present the 11th such case, which we discovered during an evaluation of a patient who had chronic rhinosinusitis with allergic manifestations.
