These are my opinions. There are many like them, but these are mine. Main February 03, 2003 Anosmia I've been thinking about this. I have no sense of smell... I have to wonder if there's some job I could be doing that only an anosmic could do. Maybe not, I don't know. Garbage man springs to mind, but I wouldn't really want to do that. You hear about those guys who get paid 60k to do cleanup in a nuclear plant 1 month out of the year, just because it's so dangerous. There's got to be a job out there that's so unbelievably and repulsively smelly that nobody wants to do it Posted by erik at February 03, 2003 12:15 PM

Description
Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition The term anosmia means lack of the sense of smell. It may also refer to a decreased sense of smell. Ageusia, a companion word, refers to a lack of taste sensation. Patients who actually have anosmia may complain wrongly of ageusia, although they retain the ability to distinguish salt, sweet, sour, and bitterhumans' only taste sensations. Description Of the five senses, smell ranks fourth in importance for humans, although it is much more pronounced in other animals. Bloodhounds, for example, can smell an odor a thousand times weaker than humans. Taste, considered the fifth sense, is mostly the smell of food in the mouth. The sense of smell originates from the first cranial nerves (the olfactory nerves), which sit at the base of the brain's frontal lobes, right behind the eyes and above the nose. Inhaled airborne chemicals stimulate these nerves. There are other aberrations of smell beside a decrease. Smells can be distorted, intensified, or hallucinated. These changes usually indicate a malfunction of the brain.

Suddenly come out and caused from the hydrocarbon scent, an antistress-antidepressant low dose drug therapy, acting on the GABA, on the serotonin, on the dopamine and on the glutamic acid, could face it. The restoration of the taste and of the sense of smell, already started after one month, was consolidated during 18 months of therapy, with residual episodic hyperosmic feelings.

Viene presentato il resoconto di un caso di anosmia-iperosmia con parziale ageusia in una paziente medico di 44 anni. Il disturbo insorse improvvisamente e fu scatenato dall'odore di idrocarburi. E' stato affrontato con una terapia antistress-antidepressiva a basso dosaggio, agente sul GABA, sulla serotonina, sulla dopamina e sull'acido glutammico. Il recupero del gusto e dell'odorato, gia' iniziato a distanza di un mese, si e' consolidato durante 18 mesi di terapia, con residuo di episodiche sensazioni iperosmiche. Non e' chiaro se tale recupero sia stabilizzato, o sia tale in relazione ad un equilibrio temporaneo, mantenuto per un certo periodo anche dopo la sospensione dei farmaci.

    The Medical Consumer's Advocate
    Anosmia: loss of the sense of smell
    This letter originally appeared in Dr. Hoffman's column on allHealth.com.
    Q: I have asthma very bad, and every time I get sick I can't smell for a long period of time. Sometimes this happens when I'm not sick. Can you tell me whyI can't smell?
    A: Smell and taste are chemical senses: your nose and tongue are able to detect very dilute concentrations of chemicals, and are able to differentiate among hundreds of different chemicals. The specialized cells, or "receptors," which do this detective work are (in the case of smell) located at the very roof of the nasal cavity. Put your fingertip on the bridge of your nose, right between your eyes. Imagine an area about one inch deep to your fingertip. THAT’S where all of the action is.
    Anything which blocks this chain of events will result in anosmia
    This assumes that your anosmia is a consequence of your asthma treatment. There is another possibility, however. Folks with chronic infection of the nose and sinuses (rhinosinusitis) who also have asthma will often notice that the two problems seem interrelated. Nasal mucus containing bacteria (living and dead), pus and a variety of inflammatory chemicals can make its way down to the lungs and provoke an attack of asthma. An acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis will also be associated with nasal inflammation, which causes decreased air flow through the nasal cavity, which in turn causes anosmia. Thus, one problem (recurrent exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis) could be causing both your asthma and your anosmia.

    unilateral anosmia Unilateral anosmia, or one-sided loss of the sense of smell, is less common than the bilateral lesion and is less commonly detected by the routine enquiry in a neurological examination. However, once diagnosed there are relatively few causes which ought to be investigated. Possible unilateral causes of anosmia include:
    • head trauma frontal lobe lesion - e.g. meningioma of the olfactory groove - an early manifestation.

    *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Anosmia, loss of the sense of smell. It can be classified as: central (lesion of the olfactory receptor, olfactory bulb or tract, or related parts of the central nervous system); peripheral (interference of access of odorants to the olfactory receptors by obstruction of the nasal cavities); reflex (disease in some other part of the body); and functional (no apparent causal lesion). Imaging techniques, such as CT and MRI, may be useful in the mapping and differential diagnosis of lesions causing central or peripheral olfactory disturbance. Common causes of peripheral olfactory disturbance are sinonasal inflammation and sinonasal tumours. Central olfactory disturbance may be secondary to head trauma (by shearing of olfactory filaments as they go through the cribriforme plate, or by contusion of the cerebral cortex, particularly the frontal and temporal lobe); Kallmanns syndrome is the most common entity causing congenital anosmia. Anosmia is also present in various degenerative neuropsychiatric disorders, and it is sometimes encountered in AIDS patients and rarely in patients with brain tumours.
