| The nose contains shelf-like structures called turbinates, which help trap particles entering the nasal passages. |
|
| Because turbinates reduce respiratory water and heat loss, they are tightly linked to high rates of lung ventilation in these terrestrial endotherms. |
|
| The inflammatory changes in the nasal turbinates were considered to be due to acrylonitrile irritation. |
|
| The surgical section covers incision and approaches for septal surgery, together with surgery of the pyramid, globule, turbinates and nasal cavity. |
|
| The turbinates are delicate, bony, scroll-like structures in your nose. |
|
| Pneumatization of the nasal turbinates is a common anatomic variant that most frequently occurs as a concha bullosa of the middle turbinate. |
|
| Other treatment options offered include laser tonsil ablation and reduction of the palate and nasal turbinates. |
|
| Several instances of blindness have been reported following injection of corticosteroid suspensions into the nasal turbinates and intralesional injection about the head. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| To see the turbinates, just look up somebody's nose, Sobel advises. |
|
| Computed tomography of the sinuses detected bilateral conchae bullosa of the middle turbinates with mucosal thickening in the middle meatus and ethmoid infundibula. |
|
| Covered with a moist membrane, turbinates humidify and warm air going into the lungs and dehumidify air on its way out, thus cutting down on water loss. |
|
| Many common anatomic variations in the nasal cavity have been observed, including paradoxical turbinates and pneumatization of the inferior, middle, and superior turbinates. |
|
| These treatment options include the Pillar Procedure, Laser Tonsillectomy, Coblation of the Nasal Turbinates and Soft Palate Coblation. |
|
| Turbinates are located on the inside of the nasal cavity and if enlarged can obstruct breathing. |
