A concha bullosa (CB) represents the presence of air cell in the turbinates, and the middle turbinate (MT) concha bullosa is a common nasal cavity anatomical variation. Pneumatization of the MT happens due to variation in the ethmoidal air cell system development.
Concha bullosa of the middle turbinate can be divided into one of three types: lamellar: pneumatisation of the vertical lamella of the concha (many authors do not regard this as a concha bullosa) 1. bulbous: pneumatisation of the bulbous segment. extensive (total): pneumatisation of both lamellar and bulbous parts.
Fourteen to 15% of the population have a pneumatized middle turbinate, commonly referred to as a concha bullosa. 1–6 Rarely, these can develop into a mucocele when filled with fluid or a mucopyocele when infected. With enlargement, they can cause significant nasal obstruction and orbital complications.
