Endoscopic Excision of Concha Bullosa


The anomaly in which the middle turbinate is filled with air different from normal is called "concha bullosa" or "pneumatized middle turbinate". It is mostly detected by chance. Occasionally, the sinus can block sinus orifices and cause recurrent inverse episodes or nasal congestion. Rarely, during upper respiratory tract infections, the inside may become infected with secretory secretion (Mucopyocele of Concha Bullosa).

Concha bullosa was first described by Santorinus in 1739 and is seen in 14-53% of society. Three types of cone bullosa, lamellar, bulbul and extensive, are defined.

The Use of Local Steroids After Nose Aesthetic Surgery Nasal cortisone injection should be considered as an important tool for any rhinoplasty or revision surgery that undergoes rhinoplasty surgery. In the next patient, in the patient who underwent 3rd (tertiary) revision nose surgery, and after the operation, and the nose tip view after 3 months, the "ball-shaped" appearance at the tip of the nose and the areas where cortisone injection was required were examined.
Do not confuse corticosteroids with anabolic steroids! When we use the term steroid in the world  and nose surgery, we are talking about a very specific type of steroids.

What are the symptoms of tonsil cancer? In patients with tonsil cancer, the disease may manifest itself only by neck mass. The reason for this is that cancer can occur in the depths of the pit cavities called crypts in the tonsil structure, and the deep epithelial invasions of the surface epithelium make it jump to the neck lymph nodes without creating a marked mass formation in the mouth.

Uvula may prolong and sag due to many reasons such as snore-induced vibratory trauma, smoking, alcohol use. Uvulopalatal Flap (UPF) was planned for this patient.
Uvula's tasks (functions of uvula) Uvula is a structure under the soft palate, lying between the tonsils in the midline, with muscle, connective tissue and mucous membranes. There are duties such as preventing the mouth from escaping from the nasal passage and directing the discharge from the nasal passage to the esophagus instead of the trachea.
