Understanding & Treating Concha Bullosa at ENT Clinic of Excellence
If you’re struggling with nasal congestion, facial pressure, or one-sided stuffiness that just wonβt 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 π¦πͺ.
π§ 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
π What Causes Concha Bullosa?
The cause isnβt always clear, but contributing factors include:
β
Natural anatomical development
β
Genetics
β
Association with a deviated nasal septum
β
Chronic sinus inflammation
Many cases go undiagnosed because the symptoms mimic chronic sinusitis or allergies β which makes proper evaluation essential.
βSymptoms of Concha Bullosa
If your concha bullosa is large or inflamed, you may experience:
πΉ Nasal blockage, especially on one side
πΉ Recurrent sinus infections
πΉ Facial pain or pressure
πΉ Headaches
πΉ Difficulty breathing through your nose
πΉ Post-nasal drip
These symptoms can affect sleep, productivity, and overall comfort β but relief is possible.
π§ͺ How Is It Diagnosed?
At our ENT clinic in Dubai, we use state-of-the-art tools for accurate diagnosis:
π©» CT Scan of the sinuses β to visualize the air-filled turbinate
π¬ Nasal Endoscopy β 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.
π 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.
1οΈβ£ Medical Treatment
We start with conservative management using:
- Nasal steroid sprays
- Decongestants
- Saline rinses
These reduce inflammation and improve airflow.
2οΈβ£ Surgical Treatment
If symptoms donβt improve, turbinate reduction or partial removal of the concha bullosa may be recommended.
