Anatomical Variant in Middle Turbinate: Concha Bullosa, Finding on Cone Beam Computerized Tomography

Abstract

Thus, we can mention the concha bullosa, the paradoxical curvature of the middle turbinate (both common anatomical variants) and the secondary middle turbinate, the latter in turn, can be pneumatized (very rare)...
