Abstract
Abnormality of the structures of the nasal cavity has featured little in palaeopathology. Here we present a possible case of concha bullosa, the abnormal pneumatisation of the middle turbinate. Differential diagnosis for concha bullosa, and the potential importance of this condition in earlier populations are discussed.
► Concha bullosa in a Mediaeval skull. ► Concha bullosa is under-reported in palaeopathology. ► Accurate diagnosis requires CT scan.
