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. Causes and symptoms The most common cause of anosmia is nasal occlusion caused by rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal membranes). If no air gets to the olfactory nerves, smell will not happen. In turn, rhinitis and nasal polyps (growths on nasal membranes) are caused by irritants such as allergens, infections, cigarette smoke, and other air pollutants. Tumors such as nasal polyps can also block the nasal passages and the olfactory nerves and cause anosmia. Head injury or, rarely, certain viral infections can damage or destroy the olfactory nerves.

Y Z Home Medical Reference Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Smell - impaired Overview Treatment Definition: This is the loss or impairment of the sense of smell. Alternative Names: Loss of smell; Anosmia Considerations: The loss of smell is usually an insignificant result of nasal congestion or obstruction, but it can sometimes indicate a neurological disorder. Loss of the sense of smell may be idiopathic (without any identifiable cause). Some loss of smell occurs normally with aging. In most cases, there is no obvious or immediate cause, and there is no treatment. Temporary loss of the sense of smell is common with colds and nasal allergies , such as hay fever allergic rhinitis ). It may occur following a viral illness. The sense of smell is often lost with disorders that prevent air from reaching the part of the nose where smell receptors are located (the cribriform plate, located high in the nose). These disorders may include nasal polyps , nasal septal deformities, and nasal tumors Other disorders that may cause a loss of the sense of smell include tumors of the head or brain

The Merck Manual of Medical InformationHome Edition Section 6. Brain and Nerve Disorders Chapter 72 Smell and Taste Disorders Since disorders of smell and taste are rarely life-threatening, they may not receive close medical attention. Yet, these disorders can be frustrating because they can affect a person's ability to enjoy food, drink, and pleasant aromas. They can also interfere with a person's ability to notice potentially harmful chemicals and gases, which could have serious consequences. Now and then, a disorder that impairs smell and taste can be serious. Smell and taste are closely linked. The taste buds of the tongue identify taste; the nerves in the nose identify smell. Both sensations are communicated to the brain, which combines the information to recognize and appreciate flavors. While some tastessuch as salty, bitter, sweet, and sourcan be recognized without the sense of smell, more complex flavors (raspberry, for example) require both taste and smell sensations to be recognized. A loss of or reduction in the ability to smell (anosmia) is the most common disorder of smell and taste. Because distinguishing one flavor from another is based in large part on smell, people often first notice a reduced sense of smell if their food seems tasteless.

Nose And Paranasal Sinuses Topics [General] Fractures Of The Nose Septal Deviation And Perforation Epistaxis ... Neoplasms Disorders Of Smell And Taste Because distinct flavors depend on aromas to stimulate the olfactory chemoreceptors, taste and smell are physiologically interdependent, and dysfunction of one often disturbs the other. Disorders of smell and taste are rarely incapacitating or life threatening, so they often do not receive close medical attention. However, the inability to detect certain odors, such as gas, may be dangerous, and several systemic and intracranial disorders should be eliminated before dismissing symptoms as harmless. Whether brain stem disease (involvement of the nucleus solitarius) can cause disorders of smell and taste is uncertain because other neurologic manifestations are usually overshadowing. Anosmia (loss of the sense of smell) is probably the most common abnormality (see below Hyperosmia (increased sensitivity to odors) usually reflects a neurotic or histrionic personality.
