Abstract
We review the normal anatomy of the olfactory system with special emph asis on its extraaxial portions. Pathological processes affecting this cranial nerve are divided into those that do not require imaging and those that do. Processes in which patients benefit from imaging mostly with magnetic resonance, include suspected tumors and congenital abno rmalities.
