Abstract

Concha bullosa is an anatomical version of the middle turbinate that is commonly found. Turbinates Pneumatization is unusual in the inferior and superior turbinates. Despite its typically asymptomatic nature, Concha bullosa can cause headaches, nasal congestion, and sinusitis. Clinical entities such as mycetoma, pyocele, and polyps may be found in concha bullosa, but they may be rare. Mucocele may be produced by blocking the concha bullosa mucociliary transport, and concha bullosa mucopyocele can be triggered through mucocele infection. A patient suffering from middle turbinate mucopyocele contributing to unilateral nasal blockage and headache is presented in this case report.
