Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore a rare anatomic malformation of ethmoid and its clinical features, as well as an effective way of treatment.

RESULT:Ethmoid bone gasification complicated with infection resulted in a rare anatomic and pathological disorder. The symptom and treatment were largely dependent on the size of gasification and degree of infection.
