The superior turbinate was the most neglected of the turbinates in the past. With the advent of functional endoscopic sinus surgery and coronal computed tomography imaging, considerable attention has been concentrated exclusively on the lateral nasal wall anatomy, including the hidden turbinate, whose symptomatic concha bullosa is extremely rare. Only a very few cases have been reported to date. This seemingly interesting as well as rare case report is concerned with unilateral hyperpneumatization of the superior turbinate, which contacts the septum and leads to headache, associated with bilateral massive concha bullosa of the middle turbinate.
