Abstract






Konka bülloza, konkaların çeşitli derecelerdeki pnömatizasyonudur. Orta
konkanın pnömatizasyonu genellikle asemptomatiktir. Ancak pnömatizasyon
derecesine bağlı olarak semptomatik olabilir. Literatürde sunulan tüm orta
konka dev pnömatizasyonlarının burun tıkanıklığına neden olduğu bildirilmiştir.
Bu yazıda boğaz ağrısı ve yutma güçlüğü ile başvuran akut tonsillit hastasında
rastlantısal saptanan orta konkanın asemptomatik dev pnömatizasyonu olgusu
sunulmuştur.
Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bu literatürdeki ilk orta
konkanın asemptomatik dev pnömatizasyonudur. Bu yazıda, bu olgu bağlamında orta
konka pnömatizasyonunun nasıl semptomatik olabileceğini tartıştık.

Asymptomatic giant pneumatization of the middle turbinate: A case report

Abstract

Concha bullosa is a pneumatization of the turbinates at several degrees. Pneumatization of the middle turbinate is generally asymptomatic; however, it may become symptomatic depending on its degree of pneumatization. All giant pneumatizations of the middle turbinate reported in the literature are reported to cause nasal obstruction. In this article, we present a case of asymptomatic giant pneumatization of the middle turbinate that was detected incidentally in a patient who presented with acute tonsillitis infection with sore throat and swallowing difficulty. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first asymptomatic giant pneumatization of the middle turbinate in the literature. In this article, we discussed how pneumatization of the middle turbinate could be symptomatic in the context of this case.
