Masif Konka Bülloza Piyoseli

Konka bülloza osteomeatal kompleksin en sık görülen anatomik varyasyonudur. Genellikle asemptomatiktir. Konka bülloza enfekte olduğunda piyosel olarak adlandırılır. Orta konkada piyosel formasyonununa nadir rastlanmaktadır. Bu durum tedavi edilmediği takdirde komşu anatomik yapıları destrükte edebilir. Konka bülloza piyoselinin tüm nazal kaviteyi dolduracak kadar büyümesi ise oldukça nadir bir durumdur. Yazıda, kronik baş ağrısı ve burun tıkanıklığı şikâyeti olan, paranazal sinüs tomografisinde masif konka bülloza saptanan ve endoskopik cerrahi ile etkin olarak tedavi edilen bir olgu literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur

Massive Concha Bullosa Pyocele

Concha bullosa is the most common anatomic variation of the osteomeatal complex. It is usually asymptomatic. If the concha bullosa becomes infected, it is then called a pyocele. Pyocele formation within the middle concha is a rare occurrence. If not treated, it may destruct the surrounding anatomical structures. Growth of the concha bullosa pyocele until it fills the whole nasal cavity is quite rare. In this article, a case that had complaints of chronic headache and nasal obstruction and was found to have a massive concha bullosa on paranasal sinus tomography that was then treated with endoscopic surgery is presented with the relevant literature
