RESUMO
Pneumatization of the middle turbinate or concha bullosa is the most common anatomical variant of this structure. Although usually small and asymptomatic, a large concha bullosa may obstruct sinus drainage. We present an uncommon case of massive bilateral concha bullosa that produced complete obstruction of the left nasal cavity and partial obstruction of the right nasal cavity.

It is treated by surgical excision. In this study we describe the clinical and pathological features of a case in an atypical patient.

Tracheomalacia is an uncommon disorder in laryngectomized patients, but it is an important therapeutic problem. Self-expandable metal prostheses can be used in its treatment. We report the successful implantation of two tracheal prostheses in a laryngectomized patient.
