Computed tomography of the sinuses detected bilateral conchae bullosa of the middle turbinates with mucosal thickening in the middle meatus and ethmoid infundibula. |
Unfortunately, the nasal conchae are missing postmortem. |
Pigs suffering from an infection with toxigenic Pasteurella multocida strains develop atrophic rhinitis characterised by a loss of turbinate bones and conchae. |
What Wittmer does find is a very close and convincing homology between the conchae marked in red in the figures adapted from his review. |
Therefore, medial marsupialization should not be performed for large conchae bullosa. |
Remodelling is seen of the nasal aperture as well as the inferior nasal conchae. |
