We studied the circumstellar environment of the B[e] star HD 45677 through the analysis of the emission lines from ionized metals. We used the statistical approach of the self absorption curve method (SAC) to derive physical parameters of the line emitting region. The Fe II and Cr II double-peaked emission line structure is explained by the presence of a thin absorption component red shifted by ~3 km/s. This absorption component can be interpreted geometricaly as being due to infalling material perpendicularly to the disk seen nearly pole-on, as indicated by the emission line structure. The Cr II and Fe II emission lines have a complex structure with two (narrow and broad) components, of 45 and 180 km/s FWHM for the permitted lines and 25 and 100 km/s FWHM for the forbidden ones, respectively. We argue that the narrow components are principaly emitted by an optically thin disk seen nearly pole-on, in a region whose minimum radius is estimated to be 4 10^12 cm, while the broad ones are formed in a disk-linked wind.
