Sizeable left-sided concha bullosa with partial opacification with retained secretions. It is seen occupying and distending the left nasal cavity with consequent marked right-sided nasal septum deviation and left ostiomeatal complex obstruction.
Mild mucosal thickening and retained secretions of both maxillary and frontal sinuses as well as ethmoid air cells.
