•The olfactory bulb (OB) and olfactory sulcus depth (OSD) were significantly atrophic in patients with PD.•Significant correlations between the right OB volume and the left putamen, and between the right OSD and the right hippocampal volume.•Our study is the first to demonstrate associations of olfa...
