AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of middle turbinate (MT) and ethmoidal internal 
      wall(EIW) moved externally after microsurgery. METHODS: Twenty-four cases (45 
      sides) were followed-up endoscopically for (16.3 +/- 9.3) months. Thirteen cases 
      (24 sides) were observed by CT scans. Three cadaver heads were measured for 
      anatomical analysis. RESULTS: Forty-one (91%) of 45 sides obtained better 
      olfactory function after operation. Twenty-two (91%) of 24 sides were found to 
      have better CT changes in sinus ventilation as compared with preoperative CT 
      scans. The gap between the MT and EIW to the orbital wall was (12.0 +/- 1.0) mm, 
      while that between the ethmoidal bulla and processus uncinatus was only (2.3 +/- 
      0.6) mm as revealed in the autopsy. CONCLUSION: MT and EIW moderately moved 
      suitably to externally had no bad effect on sinus ventilation, and it improved 
      olfaction.
