The introduction of nasoseptal flap for the skull base defects reconstruction in endoscopic endonasal approaches represents a revolution that dramatically reduced incidence of the cerebrospinal fluid leaks, however it may be associated with comorbidities like olfactory hypofunction. Objectives: We revise our anatomical knowledge and surgical experience in order to describe an easy and safe technique to avoid olfaction hypofunction. Methods (Surgical technique): A simple anatomical surgical landmark proposed for identification of the olfactory area on the septum, based on the anatomy of the lateral nasal wall.
