A fracture to the ethmoid bone would cause damage to which cranial nerve?
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.

Treatment options may include medication, nerve blocks, or surgery to relieve the compression and alleviate symptoms.
A fracture of the ethmoid bone could result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
