Case description

A normal middle turbinate curves away from the lateral nasal wall, i.e. the concavity of the middle turbinate is directed laterally. This results in a wide middle meatus. The concavity of a paradoxically bent middle turbinate is directed medially, with the convexity of the middle turbinate curving into the lateral nasal wall, thereby narrowing the middle meatus.
