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.
