Even though the olfactory function usually is improved or unchanged after ethmoidectomy, some patients complain of olfactory disturbance, which may be caused by direct injury to the olfactory nerves. However, the detailed anatomic pathway of the olfactory nerves that leave the olfactory mucosa and after going through the cribriform plate insert into the olfactory bulb is uncertain. In the studies of lateral nasal wall, we referred to the thin bone that connects the middle, superior, and supreme turbinates to the skull base as the "conchal plate." We undertook this study to determine the anatomic relation between the conchal plate and the olfactory nerve.
