Dev Konka Bülloza Piyoseli: Hızlı Gelişen Burun Tıkanıklığının Çok Nadir Bir Sebebi

Abstract

Concha bullosa pyocele is an uncommon intranasal disorder and appears when concha bullosa becomes infected. In this pathology, middle concha may become expanded and can compress surrounding tissues. If it is not appropriately treated with the necessray surgical method, this pathology may lead to intracranial and orbital complications. In this paper, we would like to report a case of giant concha bullosa pyocele which has lead to nasal obstruction and headache for two months. The resection of the lateral wall of concha bullosa was performed by transnasal endoscopic procedure. No complications were seen during or after the operation. There were no complaints reported by the patient at the follow-up period and the control endoscopic nasal examination was completely normal. The study aims to provide a consciousness of concha bullosa pyocele in the diferential diagnosis of patients with rapidly developing nasal obstruction and headache. Key words: Concha Bullosa; Pyocel; Surgery.

Giant Concha Bullosa Pyocele: An Unusual Cause of Rapidly Developing Nasal Obstruction

Abstract

Konka bülloza piyoseli nadir görülen bir hastalıktır ve konka bülloza enfeksiyonu sonucunda gelişir. Bu hastalıkta bülloz konka genişleyebilir ve çevre dokulara bası yapabilir. Tedavisi yapılmazsa orbital ve intrakranial komplikasyonlara sebep olabilir. Biz bu yazıda 2 aydır burun tıkanıklığı ve başağrısına sebep olan dev konka bülloza piyoselli bir olguyu sunduk. Burun içi endoskopik yaklaşımla konka büllozanın dış yan duvarını çıkardık. Ameliyat sırasında ve sonrasında herhangi bir sıkıntıyla karşılaşmadık. Kontrol muayenelerinde herhangi bir şikayeti olmayan hastanın endoskopik muayenesi de tamamen normal saptandı. Bu olgu, hızlı gelişen burun tıkanıklığı ve başağrısı şikayeti olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda konka bülloza piyoseline de dikkat çekmek için sunuldu. Anahtar kelimeler: Konka Bülloza; Piyosel; Cerrahi.
