Abstract

A patient was referred to the ENT clinic with symptoms of chronic sinusitis, particularly facial pressure, especially on the right side of his face. His symptoms failed to improve despite a long course of intranasal steroid spray. A CT scan showed septal deviation to the right and a large concha bullosa, obstructing the right osteomeatal complex. The maxillary sinus appeared completely opacified. Surgical intervention was planned in terms of septoplasty, concha bullosa reduction and right middle meatal antrostomy. The patient recovered fully and his nasal obstruction improved significantly. He was put on long term intranasal steroid spray.
