The turbinates are thin, bony plates inside your nose. Allergies or a lengthy cold can irritate them and cause them to swell, or enlarge. The swelling makes it hard for you to breathe. Another cause of the swelling is overuse of decongestant nasal sprays.
J34. 3 - Hypertrophy of nasal turbinates | ICD-10-CM.
The nose has three pairs of turbinates: superior, middle and inferior. They are located along the sides of both nasal cavities. The inferior nasal turbinates are the largest and located lowest in the nose. They are also the most likely to become enlarged.
Turbinates are small structures inside the nose that cleanse and humidify air that passes through the nostrils into the lungs.
Inferior nasal turbinates are located inside your nose on either side of your nasal septum. They are bone covered with erectile soft tissue that helps create turbulence inside the nose to warm, purify and humidify the air that we breathe.
Turbinate hypertrophy is typically caused when the lining of the skin covering the turbinate bone becomes enlarged and swollen. This can be an acute (one time) or chronic (ongoing) problem, and can be caused by many conditions including: Upper respiratory infection, or the common cold. Acute sinus infection.
The middle turbinate projects into the central nasal cavity and resides next to the nasal septum. It is attached to the lateral nasal wall posteriorly just above the inferior turbinate but behind the maxillary, or cheek, sinus.
nasal concha, also called Turbinate, or Turbinal, any of several thin, scroll-shaped bony elements forming the upper chambers of the nasal cavities. They increase the surface area of these cavities, thus providing for rapid warming and humidification of air as it passes to the lungs.
three pairsLocated along the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, there are three pairs of turbinates commonly described: superior, middle, and inferior.
Nasal turbinates are normal outgrowths of the nasal sidewall bone that are covered in nasal cavity mucous membrane. Turbinate hypertrophy is when these outgrowths become enlarged and obstruct the nose. The nasal cavity generally contains three sets of turbinates on each side: Superior turbinates.
The inferior turbinate tissue is composed of rich groups of blood vessels, and can become swollen due to a variety of factors including allergies, colds and upper respiratory infections, inflammation, from exposure to certain medications, pregnancy, or for unknown reasons.
These include:Taking medications to reduce seasonal allergies, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin, Allegra).Taking oral decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine. ... Temporarily using nasal decongestants to relieve nasal swelling.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 478.0 was previously used, J34.3 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
We need the nose for breathing and smelling. The outside of the nose is composed of bone and cartilage. The nasal septum divides the nasal cavity into two halves. The inside of the nose is lined with a moist mucous membrane. The nasal concha are bony protrusions in the nose, and also lined with mucous membrane.
