To report an extremely rare case of pneumatisation of all turbinates.
A 17-year-old male patient presented with nasal obstruction. Anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopic examination revealed left middle turbinate and bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy, septal deviation to the right. A coronal computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed pneumatisation of both superior and inferior turbinates and a left middle turbinate, and also showed pneumatisation of the right middle turbinate. The patient underwent endoscopic sinus surgery of the left side with lateral lamellar resection of the middle turbinate under local anaesthesia.
We present the first case in the world literature of the pneumatisation of all six turbinates.
报告一例极为罕见的所有鼻甲气化病例。
一名17岁男性患者因鼻塞就诊。前鼻镜检查和鼻内镜检查显示左侧中鼻甲及双侧下鼻甲肥大，鼻中隔向右侧偏曲。鼻窦冠状位计算机断层扫描（CT）显示双侧上、下鼻甲及左侧中鼻甲气化，右侧中鼻甲也有气化。患者在局部麻醉下接受了左侧鼻内镜鼻窦手术及中鼻甲外侧薄片切除术。
我们报告了世界文献中首例所有六个鼻甲均发生气化的病例。
