RESULT:(1) No difference was found between 21 patients ( < or = 12 months) and 7 patients (>12 months) (P > 0.05), significant difference was found between maxillary sinus,ethmoid sinus and frontal sinus, sphenoid sinus in CT scan (P < 0.01). (2) Olfactory function improves after treatment (P < 0.01). Significant difference is found between 12 patients ( < or =12 months) and 4 patients (P < 0.01).
