Abstract
Bifid inferior nasal turbinates-two inferior turbinates with a single root observed in the nasal cavity-are an extremely rare anatomical variation, especially when they are observed bilaterally and exist with other variations. We report a case of bilateral bifid inferior nasal turbinates with bilateral secondary middle turbinates. We discuss the findings of this rare condition and suggest an appropriate term-accessory inferior turbinate-to replace bilateral inferior turbinate by reason of its embryology.Mesh:
