Hypertrophy means overgrowth. The concha are the turbinates, or the ridged parts of the nose that swirl the air for warming and cleaning. Hypertrophy in the turbinates is typically a sign of rhinitis -- often due to Allergies. A concha bullosa is a turbinate with air in it; about half of people have one.
What else can I help you with?
What bone forms the most inferior turbinates?
The inferior nasal concha, a separate bone from the ethmoid bone, forms the most inferior turbinates in the nasal cavity.
Which bone make up the nasal conchae?
The nasal conchae are made up of the inferior nasal concha and the superior nasal concha, which are part of the ethmoid bone in the skull. They help to increase the surface area within the nasal cavity, aiding in the warming and humidifying of inhaled air.
Is the inferior nasal concha part of the ethmoid bone?
No, it's not.
What bone is a scroll shaped bone?
inferior nasal concha
What are the correct diagnosis and procedure codes for a complete excision of inferior nasal turbinates for hypertrophy?
The correct diagnosis code for hypertrophy of the inferior nasal turbinates is typically J34.2 (Hypertrophy of nasal turbinates). The procedure code for a complete excision of the inferior nasal turbinates can be represented by 30140 (Turbinate resection, partial or complete, any method). Always verify with the latest coding guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance.
How is the inferior nasal choncha different from the middle or superior?
The inferior nasal concha is part of the maxillary bone, while the middle and superior conchae are part of the ethmoid.
Increases air turbulance in the nasal cavity?
The scroll-shaped conchae increase the turbulenceof air flowing through the nasal cavity.
What is a bone in the head that starts with i?
The "Incus" , or anvil , is part of the ear found in the skull . The inferior nasal concha is another one
What is the dagger shaped bone in the nasal cavity?

What is the function of the middle nasal concha?
the nasal in the middle of the nose

Where is the lacrimal duct empities into?
The lacrimal duct, also known as the nasolacrimal duct, empties into the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity, located beneath the inferior nasal concha. This duct transports tears from the lacrimal sac, which collects tears from the surface of the eye, allowing for proper drainage and preventing overflow onto the face.
