A member asked:

Normal variant: A concha bullosa means an aerated middle turbinate. This is a variation of normal nasal anatomy. Only if the concha bullosa is compressing the lateral wall of the nose is there the possibility of it obstructing the opening of the sinuses. By itself, it does not signify anything wrong. But you must have had a CAT scan for other reasons than just to tell us this information.

Enlarged tissue: This refers to part of the nasal tissue being enlarged or swollen. Not dangerous. Talk to the doctor who ordered the CT, or an ENT physician if concerned.

Concha bullosa: This is an air pocket in the middle turbinate. Turbinates warm and humidifies the air you breathe. This anatomical deviation along with turbinate enlargement can lead to sinus blockage. This can predispose to sinus infections.

Concha bullosa: The middle turbinate has a bony portion within. if it is pneumatised- with air in it as visualized on CT, it is a concha bullosa.
