OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the distribution of olfactory filaments (OFs) in the nasal mucosa to facilitate preservation of olfactory function in endonasal approaches and preparation of a nasoseptal flap.

METHODS: One formalin-fixed and 9 fresh cadaveric silicone-injected specimens with 20 total sides were studied to measure the distance of the OFs to the anatomical landmarks and compare the OF presence in the nasal septum mucosa (NSM) and ethmoidal mucosa (EM).

RESULTS: The mean distance from the first to the last OF was 19.37 ± 2.16 mm in the NSM and 23.44 ± 5.42 mm in the EM. The NSM had a mean of 7.55 ± 1.31 OFs and the EM had 14.3 ± 1.78. Average OF lengths were measured at 6.44 ± 1.48 (range 3.75-12.40) mm in the NSM and 8.05 ± 1.76 (range 4.14-13.20) mm in the EM. The mean values of the EM measurements were compared with those of the NSM; the number of OFs, the distance between the first and last OF, the average OF length, and the number of OFs between anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries in the NSM were significantly less (p < 0.05) than those in the EM. The distance between the first OF to the nasal bone on the NSM was greater than on the EM.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the EM, the OFs are significantly fewer in number and smaller in size in the NSM. The uppermost edge of the nasoseptal flap incision in the NSM might be safer to start below 12 mm from the cribriform plate for OF protection.
