| The surgical section covers incision and approaches for septal surgery, together with surgery of the pyramid, globule, turbinates and nasal cavity. |
| In a turbinoplasty, the goal is to reduce the turbinates enough to improve your breathing and sinus drainage, while preserving enough tissue for normal turbinate function. |
| The inflammatory changes in the nasal turbinates were considered to be due to acrylonitrile irritation. |
| The nose contains shelf-like structures called turbinates, which help trap particles entering the nasal passages. |
| Summary: We report a case of a 36 year old woman who presented a chronic rhinitis and a hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates. Primary nasal tuberculosis was discovered by chance after the inferior turbinectomy. |
| Because turbinates reduce respiratory water and heat loss, they are tightly linked to high rates of lung ventilation in these terrestrial endotherms. |
