Clinic
- Also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells.
- Anosmia may be temporary or permanent. It differs from hyposmia, which is a decreased sensitivity to some or all smells.
Causes
- Inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or
- Destruction of one temporal lobe.
When anosmia is caused by inflammatory changes in the nasal passageways, it is treated simply by reducing inflammation.
- It can be caused by chronic meningitis and neurosyphilis that would increase intracranial pressure over a long period of time.
- Ciliopathy, including ciliopathy due to primary ciliary dyskinesia.
