Olfactory cleft dilatation

Nasal gel and olfactory cleft.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether a nasal gel, administrated using a radial-hole inhaler, reaches the olfactory cleft and if a different administration method influences distribution. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixteen healthy volunteers underwent a nasal endoscopy at 1 and 7minutes after the administration of a intranasal gel, with a different method in each fossa. RESULTS No dye deposition was ident...

Palmoplantar Pustulosis Following Olfactory Cleft Inflammation

We present a case of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) secondary to olfactory cleft inflammation in a 65-year-old man. He had a 10-year history of PPP. Computed tomography showed an abnormal intensity that corresponded to chronic inflammatory sinusitis in the right maxillary and ethomoidal sinuses, and obstruction of the olfactory cleft. After administration of intranasal steroid drops, the olfacto...

Olfactory Deficits in Cleft Lip and Palate

Olfactory cleft computed tomography analysis and olfaction in chronic rhinosinusitis

BACKGROUND Volumetric analysis of the olfactory cleft by using computed tomography has been associated with olfaction in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, existing studies have not comprehensively measured olfaction, and it thus remains unknown whether correlations differ across specific dimensions of odor perception. OBJECTIVE To use comprehensive measures of patient-repor...
