Concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation, and their impacts on maxillary sinus volume among Emirati people: A cone-beam computed tomography study.

In the literature, few studies were found that sought to assess the correlation between NSD and the presence of middle turbinate pneumatization; however, a study demonstrated a highly significant correlation between the presence of middle CB and a deviated septum on the contralateral side. 18 It has been suggested that the abnormal space created in the nasal septum by the concave part may provide conditions suitable for pneumatization of the middle turbinate. 22 NSD was usually accompanied with a dominant large CB. 22 23 In contrast, in this study, only 40.5% of the individuals with NSD had CB, suggesting there may not be an association.
