Nasal turbinates are functionally important structures which extend from the lateral nasal walls to the nasal cavity. Lateral nasal wall anomalies are usually asymptomatic lesions which are incidentally detected. The most common variation of the lateral nasal wall is the pneumatization of turbinates. Anatomical variations of paranasal structures may present confusing intranasal landmarks. This may cause challenges in endoscopic sinus surgery. Bifid inferior turbinate is an extremely rare condition. In this article, we present two cases with bifid inferior turbinate. This variation should be kept in mind as a rare cause of nasal obstruction.
鼻甲是从鼻腔外侧壁延伸至鼻腔的功能重要结构。鼻腔外侧壁异常通常是偶然发现的无症状病变。鼻腔外侧壁最常见的变异是鼻甲气化。鼻旁结构的解剖变异可能导致鼻腔内标志混乱。这可能给鼻内镜鼻窦手术带来挑战。双叉下鼻甲是一种极其罕见的情况。在本文中，我们报告了两例双叉下鼻甲病例。应将这种变异视为鼻塞的罕见原因而予以关注。
