Abstract
Congenital vomer agenesis is a very rare condition. Usually, it is discovered incidentally. Nasal and otologic diseases accompany the cases. In this article, we report two cases of isolated congenital vomer agenesis who were admitted to our clinic with complaint of nasal obstruction. On endoscopic examination, deviated septum and inferior turbinate hypertrophy were observed in both patients. One patient was performed septoplasty, inferior turbinate radiofrequency, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Other patient was advised follow-up since the patient did not consent to operation.

Abstract
Doğuştan vomer sapan kemiği yokluğu çok nadir bir durumdur. Genellikle rastlantısal olarak saptanır. Olgulara nazal ve otolojik hastalıklar eşlik eder. Bu yazıda, burun tıkanıklığı yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran iki izole doğuştan vomer yokluğu olgusu sunuldu. Endoskopik muayenede her iki hastada septum deviyasyonu ve alt konka hipertrofisi saptandı. Bir hastaya septoplasti, alt konka radyofrekans ve fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi ameliyatı yapıldı. Diğer hasta ise ameliyatı kabul etmediği için takip önerildi
