Abstract
Objectives: Concha bullosa is the most common anatomical variation of the middle turbinate, which can be associated with symptoms such as headache, nasal congestion, and loss of smell. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of concha bullosa and its association with osteomeatal anatomical variations in an Iranian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated CBCT images of 99 patients. Presence of concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation and paradoxical middle concha was evaluated. The frequency of these anatomical variations and their associations were analyzed.
Results: The study included CBCT scans of 60 women (60.6%) and 39 men (39.4%). According to the results, 57 cases (57.6%) of nasal septal deviation were observed. Concha bullosa was present in 51.5% of the cases (51 cases). Fifty-one patients (51.5%) had evidence of concha bullosa located in the right concha (23.5%), involving the left concha (39.2%), and bilaterally distributed (37.2%). There was no significant difference between males and females regarding the presence of concha bullosa (P=0.092). The relationship between the presence of concha bullosa and nasal septal deviation was not statistically significant (P=0.796).
Conclusion: The presence of nasal septal deviation and concha bullosa in this study seemed to be in accordance with prior studies. The presence of concha bullosa was not significantly associated with the presence or laterality of nasal septal deviation.
