Özet

There are 3 pairs of turbinates defined: superior, middle, and inferior. They are located throughout the lateral walls of the nasal cav- ity. The embryological evolution of the nasal turbinate is a complex process. During the embriologic development of nasal turbi nate, anatomic variations may appear at multiple points. There are very few publication about this topic. Bifid inferior turbinate is a very r are abnormality that is easily identified on paranasal tomography but should be looked on endoscopy. We have one case about bifid inferior turbinate. This variation should be kept in mind as a rare cause of nasal obstruction. We have found that surgical treatment is very beneficial this patients.
