Title of your Abstract : Evaluation of the Olfactory Bulb Volume and Olfactory Threshold in patients with nasal polyps and Impact of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: a longitudinal study
country : france
From : Thursday, September 25, 2014
To : Saturday, September 27, 2014
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Background: Debate still persists on the relation between olfactory bulb volume (OBV) and olfactory function. Many studies suggest that olfactory deprivation decreases the OBV. The aim of this study was to compare the olfactory threshold and olfactory bulb volume of patients with nasal polyps to healthy individuals and to evaluate the impact of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on OBV and olfactory threshold.
Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out in Tehran between 2011 -2012. Twenty two patients with nasal polyps were compared with thirty seven healthy individuals. Olfactory threshold test and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed on all participants. Twenty two patients in case group were followed up for 6 months after FESS .OBV and olfactory threshold were measured after 6 months.
Results: There was no significant difference between the age, gender and olfactory bulb volume of the two groups. However, the difference between olfactory threshold was significant (P=0.005). The olfactory threshold showed no significant relation with olfactory bulb volume (P > 0.05). The correlation between Lund-Mackay score and the mean total OBV and left OBV was significant (r=-0.15 P =0.045 and r=-0.22 P =0.047 respectively). The decrease in olfactory threshold measured after FESS was statistically significant. Right, left and total olfactory bulb volume significantly increased after FESS.
Conclusion: The results of our study show that FESS has a significant impact on OBV increment and olfactory threshold decrement.OBV is a plastic structure and improvement in peripheral olfactory function results in enlargement of OBV. However, further studies are mandated, in order to establish this result.

If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box : european board in head and neck radiology
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : that was really notable that I, as a medical student had an oral presentation in ESHNR congress. 
it was suprising for them that i am interested in head and neck field and i could publish my work in the most prestigious.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : ch.Czerny, R.Lingam, A.Bonafe, N.Martin-Duverneuil
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : unfortunately I cant understand what do you exactly mean;(
if you want to know about effectiveness and aftereffect of my of my presentaion you can contact with european society of head and neck radiology, Vienna,Austria.
congress president was Dr. Nadine Martin-Duverneuil and Prof. Guy Moulin, Dr.Arthur Varoquaux, Dr. Frederique Dubrulle were members of local organising committee.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : that was a great experience, full of excitement and also stress!
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : i gained invaluable experiences in 27th congress and refreshnr course of the european society of head and neck radiology (ESHNR 2014) in Mrseille, France.it was a great pleasure for me to meet famous radiologist and to evaluate my ability to present my work in an international congress outside my country.
"evaluation of olfactory bulb volume and olfactory threshold in patients with nasal polyps and impact of functional endoscopic sinus surgery" was my first approved research project. it was accepted in one of the most prestigious journals, american forum of allergy and rhinology. i decided to present my work in an international congress,it was difficult and stressful at first but ofcourse that was worthy!!
