Explore: Turbinates

turbinates condense moisture from the air and absorbs it for reuse. Dogs and other canids possess well-developed nasal turbinates. These turbinates allow

conchae or turbinates, predominantly the inferior turbinates, which are by far the largest of the turbinates in each nasal fossa. Turbinates consist of

scroll, (turbinate meaning inverted cone). The inferior nasal conchae are considered a pair of facial bones. As the air passes through the turbinates, the

through the nasal cavity they widen, are known as nasal fossae, and contain turbinates and olfactory mucosa. The nasal cavity also connects to the paranasal

"concha") or turbinates. These turbinates disrupt the airflow, directing air toward the olfactory epithelium on the surface of the turbinates and the septum

septoplasty. A turbinectomy is usually performed to resolve turbinate hypertrophy, where the turbinates are swollen and enlarged. Common causes of this condition

turbinate surgery or procedure. Affected individuals have usually undergone a turbinectomy (resection of structures inside the nose called turbinates)

aiming to treat turbinate hypertrophy by reducing turbinate volume. Turbinate hypertrophy is commonly characterised by enlarged nasal turbinates arising from

to the mucous membrane covering the superior nasal concha. The middle turbinates insert anteriorly into the frontal process of the maxilla and posteriorly

caudal margin. Empty nose syndrome due to resection or removal of the turbinates. Nasal septum perforation due to the bilateral trauma of the mucoperichondrial
