About Concha Bullosa Reduction
A concha bullosa is an air-filled anatomic variant of the turbinates. This most commonly occurs in the middle turbinate but can occasionally occur in the inferior or superior turbinates. A concha bullosa sometimes causes obstruction of the sinus passageways. In these cases, reduction surgery may be warranted.
