Triple septated concha bullosa, a rare middle turbinate anomaly, is presented. This study highlights an unprecedented case, emphasizing the need for further research into septated concha bullosa and sinonasal pathologies.
Area of Science:
- Otorhinolaryngology
- Anatomical Variations
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) reveals frequent anatomical variations of nasal turbinates.
- Concha bullosa (CB), the pneumatization of nasal turbinates, is the most common middle turbinate variation.
- Septated concha bullosa is a recently described, uncommon pneumatization anomaly of the middle turbinate.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of triple septated concha bullosa.
- To address the lack of studies correlating septation number with sinonasal pathologies.
Main Methods:
- Review of medical literature for reported cases of septated concha bullosa.
- Detailed analysis of imaging findings in the presented case of triple septated concha bullosa.
Main Results:
- A case of triple septated concha bullosa, previously unreported, was identified.
- The study highlights the rarity of multiple septations within a concha bullosa.
Conclusions:
- Triple septated concha bullosa represents an extremely rare anatomical variation.
- Further investigation is warranted to understand the clinical significance and potential association of septated concha bullosa with sinonasal diseases.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
