Nadir bir vaka: bilateral çift orta konka

Abstract

Otuzdört yaþýnda bir bayan olguda, nadir görülen bilateral çift orta konka varyasyonu sunulmuþtur. Nadir ve ilginç bir vaka olan bilateral çift orta konka veya sekonder orta konka anomalisi, hastalarda alerjik rinit benzeri semptomlara sebep olabilmektedir. Diagnostik nazal endoskopi ve koronal BT uygulamalarý, konkalarýn ve lateral nazal duvar anomalilerinin fark edilmesini kolaylaþtýrmýþtýr. Sinonazal bölgedeki bu tür anatomik varyasyonlarýn ayrýntýlý olarak belirlenmesi, klinik tanýnýn baþarýlý, cerrahinin ise güvenli olmasýný saðlar. Böylece ostiomeatal komplekse yönelik gereksiz ve uygun olmayan bir cerrahi giriþimden kaçýnýlmýþ olur.

A rarely case with bilateral double middle chonca

Abstract

A rarely case with bilateral double middle choncaA 34-year-old female with bilateral double middle turbinates was presented by a rare case. As an interestingand a rare case, double middle turbinate may be a cause of allergic rhinitis symptoms. Endoscopic sinusexamination and coronal CT reveals turbinates and lateral nasal wall anomalies. We believe that detailedknowledge of anatomical anomalies in the sinonasal tract is critical for successful clinical management andimportant in allowing the surgeon to perform safe functional endoscopic sinus surgery and not to performneedless surgery to ostiomeatal complex
