Partial or total pneumatization of the middle turbinate is called concha bullosa. It's one of the most common anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall. The exact reason of such pneumatization is not known. It can originate from the frontal recess, middle meatus, sinus lateralis or, less frequently, from the posterior ethmoid cells. Concha bullosa remains usually asymptomatic. However, an extensively pneumatized middle turbinate may constitute space-occupying mass, and thus, it may cause nasal obstruction. We report an extremely rare case of a patient with a large, doubly septated concha bullosa with four different sources of aeration.
中鼻甲部分或全部气化称为泡状鼻甲。它是鼻腔外侧壁最常见的解剖变异之一。这种气化的确切原因尚不清楚。它可起源于额隐窝、中鼻道、鼻旁窦，或较少见地起源于后筛窦气房。泡状鼻甲通常无症状。然而，广泛气化的中鼻甲可能形成占位性肿块，从而导致鼻塞。我们报告了一例极为罕见的病例，患者有一个巨大的、双重分隔的泡状鼻甲，有四个不同的通气来源。
