In recent years, with the widespread use of imaging techniques such as paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT), many variations of nasal turbinates have been described. One of these variations known as concha bullosa (CB) is pneumatization of nasal turbinates. CB is the most frequently encountered anatomical variations of the middle turbinate. The term of septated concha bullosa has been described recently and it is an uncommon pneumatization anomaly of the middle turbinate. There has not been any study that correlates the number of septations and the presence of sinonasal pathologies. We hereby present a case of triple septated concha bullosa that has not been reported so far.
近年来，随着鼻窦计算机断层扫描（CT）等成像技术的广泛应用，人们描述了许多鼻甲的变异情况。其中一种变异称为泡状鼻甲（CB），即鼻甲气化。CB是中鼻甲最常见的解剖变异。最近有人描述了分隔泡状鼻甲这一术语，它是中鼻甲一种罕见的气化异常。目前尚无任何研究将分隔的数量与鼻窦疾病的存在相关联。我们在此报告一例迄今尚未见报道的三联分隔泡状鼻甲病例。
