Inferior concha bullosa is a rare disease that has been related to sinonasal symptoms. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of concha bullosa in the inferior turbinate and assess its common clinical manifestations, computed tomography findings, and the surgical techniques used to treat the condition.  We conducted a search of the PubMed database, using the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis, for articles published until May 2021 using the following terms: “inferior turbinate and concha bullosa”; “inferior turbinate and pneumatization”; and in combination with other terms such as “concha bullosa release and concha bullosa excision”, among others.  We found 12 papers that met our inclusion criteria. The main presenting symptom was a nasal obstruction in 13 patients (100%), followed by headache in 10 patients (77%). The site of inferior concha bullosa was bilateral in six cases and left-sided in five cases. Computed tomography was conducted in all cases in this review. The type of intervention performed was medical, surgical, and both in 23%, 54%, and 23% of the cases.  Despite multimodal surgical approaches and medical treatment, all the outcomes were good and no compactions were noted. All cases also had good prognoses.
