AB  - Many anatomical variations of the middle turbinate (MT), including pneumatized, 
      paradoxically curved, bifurcate, trifurcate, secondary, and accessory, have been 
      described. The most common is pneumatized MT (concha bullosa), but other less 
      common variations may also impact the outcome of clinical management. Anatomical 
      variations of the MT, particularly with a concomitant deviated nasal septum, tend 
      to obstruct the middle meatus leading to disruption of the normal sinus drainage 
      and worsening the symptoms of rhinosinusitis. By recognizing the unique 
      anatomical variant by endoscopy or imaging will help us to improve the 
      management. We report an endoscopic presentation of a rare accessory MT.
