Abstract
An 18-year-old man presented with the complaint of radical nasal obstruction. Physical and nasal endoscopic examination revealed a large lesion completely occupying the right nasal cavity. Computed tomographic examination of the nasal cavity revealed septal deviation to the left side, and a massive concha bullosa mucocele and maxillary sinusitis on the right side. When a concha bullosa becomes obstructed, a mucocele can form and rapidly increase in size, and cause septal deviation and sinusitis as secondary complications. Therefore, we consider it necessary to undertake immediate surgery via the endoscopic approach in patients with concha bullosa mucocele.
We report here a patient with a massive concha bullosa mucocele with secondary septal deviation and maxillary sinusitis.
