A fracture to the ethmoid bone can potentially damage the olfactory nerve, which is cranial nerve I. This nerve is responsible for the sense of smell and runs through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Damage to this area can lead to anosmia, or the loss of the sense of smell. Additionally, it may also affect nearby structures, but the olfactory nerve is the most directly impacted.
