Understanding & Treating Concha Bullosa at ENT Clinic of Excellence

If you’re struggling with nasal congestion, facial pressure, or one-sided stuffiness that just won’t go away, it might be more than a cold or allergy. One often overlooked cause is Concha Bullosa β€” a common nasal variation that can disrupt your breathing and quality of life.

At ENT Clinic of Excellence, one of the best ENT clinics in Dubai, we help patients uncover the real reason behind persistent nasal blockage and offer the most effective treatment options in the UAE πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺ.


🧠 What Is Concha Bullosa?

Concha Bullosa occurs when the middle nasal turbinate (a natural structure in your nose) becomes air-filled and enlarged, forming a balloon-like pocket that narrows your nasal passage.
While many people have this condition without knowing it, a large or inflamed concha bullosa can lead to:

  • Constant nasal congestion
  • Facial pressure or headaches
  • Sinus infections
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Breathing difficulties

πŸ”Ž What Causes Concha Bullosa?

The cause isn’t always clear, but contributing factors include:

βœ… Natural anatomical development
βœ… Genetics
βœ… Association with a deviated nasal septum
βœ… Chronic sinus inflammation

Many cases go undiagnosed because the symptoms mimic chronic sinusitis or allergies β€” which makes proper evaluation essential.


❗Symptoms of Concha Bullosa

If your concha bullosa is large or inflamed, you may experience:

πŸ”Ή Nasal blockage, especially on one side
πŸ”Ή Recurrent sinus infections
πŸ”Ή Facial pain or pressure
πŸ”Ή Headaches
πŸ”Ή Difficulty breathing through your nose
πŸ”Ή Post-nasal drip

These symptoms can affect sleep, productivity, and overall comfort β€” but relief is possible.


πŸ§ͺ How Is It Diagnosed?

At our ENT clinic in Dubai, we use state-of-the-art tools for accurate diagnosis:

🩻 CT Scan of the sinuses – to visualize the air-filled turbinate
πŸ”¬ Nasal Endoscopy – a quick, in-clinic procedure to examine the nasal cavity

Our expert ENT consultant will confirm the diagnosis and guide you through a personalized care plan.


πŸ› οΈ Treatment Options for Concha Bullosa

Not every concha bullosa needs surgery. Mild cases can be managed medically, but persistent symptoms may require a minimally invasive procedure.

1️⃣ Medical Treatment

We start with conservative management using:

  • Nasal steroid sprays
  • Decongestants
  • Saline rinses

These reduce inflammation and improve airflow.

2️⃣ Surgical Treatment

If symptoms don’t improve, turbinate reduction or partial removal of the concha bullosa may be recommended.
βœ… Performed under endoscopy
βœ… No external scars
βœ… Quick recovery
βœ… Safe and effective

This outpatient surgery is done at our clinic by one of Dubai’s top ENT surgeons.
