An enlarged pneumatized middle turbinate, called a concha bullosa, may be the site of inflammatory disease ranging from simple mucosal thickening to a mucocele. Four patients with inflammatory disease involving a concha bullosa were studied with MR and/or CT. Both imaging techniques detected the presence of mucosal inflammation and a mucocele within the concha bullosa, but CT better demonstrated the thin bony wall of the mucocele, allowing differentiation from other soft-tissue nasal masses.
增大的气化中鼻甲，即泡状鼻甲，可能是炎症性疾病的发生部位，范围从单纯的黏膜增厚到黏液囊肿。对4例累及泡状鼻甲的炎症性疾病患者进行了磁共振成像（MR）和/或计算机断层扫描（CT）研究。两种成像技术均检测到泡状鼻甲内存在黏膜炎症和黏液囊肿，但CT能更好地显示黏液囊肿的薄骨壁，有助于与其他鼻腔软组织肿块相鉴别。
