To assess mucociliary transport and olfaction in patients after Le Fort fractures.
Forty-one patients were enrolled who had sustained a Le Fort fracture during the preceding five years. Control group consisted of students. Olfaction and mucociliary transport were examined in all subjects. A capillary with saccharine was placed on the inferior nasal concha, and time was recorded in which the subject tasted sweetness in the mouth. Results were subject to statistical analysis. Patients with allergy, sinus disease and smokers were excluded from the examination.
Disturbance of mucociliary transport and olfaction turned out to be statistically dependent on the type of fracture and management.
Le Fort fracture might be complicated by compromised mucociliary clearance and olfactory disturbances.
评估Le Fort骨折患者的黏液纤毛运输功能和嗅觉。
纳入41例在过去五年内发生Le Fort骨折的患者。对照组为学生。对所有受试者进行嗅觉和黏液纤毛运输功能检查。在下鼻甲放置一根装有糖精的毛细管，并记录受试者口腔中尝到甜味的时间。结果进行统计学分析。过敏、鼻窦疾病患者及吸烟者被排除在检查之外。
黏液纤毛运输功能和嗅觉障碍在统计学上取决于骨折类型和治疗方式。
Le Fort骨折可能并发黏液纤毛清除功能受损和嗅觉障碍。
