Concha bullosa is a relatively common anatomic variant that is in fact an enlarged pneumatized middle turbinate. We report a case of giant concha bullosa in a 21-year-old woman who had a history of nasal obstruction. Anterior nasal examination of the nasal cavity revealed bilateral nasal masses which were covered with normal mucosa. Nasal endoscopy of both nasal cavities was impossible because of total occlusion. Computed tomography showed a bilateral giant concha bullosa. Under general anesthesia, resection of lateral half of the concha bullosa was performed bilaterally by a transnasal endoscopic technique to achieve nasal airway patency.
泡状鼻甲是一种相对常见的解剖变异，实际上是气化增大的中鼻甲。我们报告一例21岁有鼻塞病史的女性巨大泡状鼻甲病例。鼻腔前鼻检查发现双侧鼻腔肿物，表面覆盖正常黏膜。由于完全堵塞，无法进行双侧鼻腔鼻内镜检查。计算机断层扫描显示双侧巨大泡状鼻甲。在全身麻醉下，通过经鼻内镜技术双侧切除泡状鼻甲外侧半以实现鼻腔气道通畅。
