The turbinates are paired structures that are located within the nasal cavity. Hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of an organ or tissue; consequently, turbinate hypertrophy is the enlargement of the turbinates. Hypertrophy can occur and result in total obstruction of the nasal airways.
When it comes to children, large adenoids or tonsils are not always the cause of their nasal congestion or obstruction. Nasal turbinates are structures suspended from the outside wall of our nose that allow our nose to warm and humidify the air. These structures dramatically increase the surface area inside our nose like the radiator of a car cooling system. As air passes over these structures, warm water evaporates. Turbinates are suspended by a thin sheet of bone and wrapped with erectile tissue that can swell due to inflammation caused by nasal allergy, a common cold, or from dependent blood flow as when lying down to sleep.
