Concha bullosa is the most frequently encountered anatomical variation of the lateral nasal wall characterised with pneumatisation of the middle concha. The incidence of middle concha bullosa varies between 14% and 53%. Patients may often complain of nasal congestion and may in some cases suffer episodes of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis. In this article we present a case of nasal obstruction with an unusually large concha bullosa.
