The nasal conchal bullae (dorsal and ventral) are separate, air-filled structures within their respective dorsal and ventral nasal conchae. Computed tomography scans have assisted with the increasing diagnosis of empyema of the nasal conchae. This condition is usually associated with dental or sinus disease. Drainage of affected bullae is considered critical for resolution of clinical signs. The ventral conchal bullae can be easily viewed with a standard 10 mm diameter flexible endoscopy via the middle nasal meatus. This approach can also be used for fenestration of the bullae, using a diode laser, equine laryngeal forceps, or bipolar vessel sealing device.
鼻腔鼻甲（背侧和腹侧）是各自背侧和腹侧鼻甲骨内的独立充气结构。计算机断层扫描扫描有助于提高对鼻甲积脓的诊断。这种情况通常与牙齿或鼻窦疾病有关。引流受累的鼻甲对于临床症状的缓解至关重要。通过中鼻道，使用标准的 10 毫米直径的软性内镜可以轻松观察到腹侧鼻甲。这种方法也可用于使用二极管激光、马喉钳或双极血管密封装置对鼻甲进行开窗术。
