What are the causes of Anosmia ? Anosmia occurs from either an obstruction in the nose or nerve damage. An obstruction prevents odors from reaching the delicate nerve fibers of the nose. They could be caused due to natural aging process or most commonly due to common cold. They can also follow a head injury or an acute or chronic attack of allergies. Many medications may change or decrease the ability to detect odors. The sense of smell is often lost with disorders like tumours, Nasal, sinus or surgery of the brain. It may also be due to zinc deficiency. Tobacco smoking is the most concentrated form of pollution that most people will ever be exposed to. It impairs the ability to identify odors. Hormonal disturbances or dental problems are also a cause. Anosmia can occur as a part of other loss of function of the brain. What are the symptoms of Anosmia ?

OTHER STUFF ANOSMIA SMOKERS CORNER THE GREAT PARCEL FARCE INTERNAL COMPASS ... BUG BEARS - Things that drive me Absolutely Insane Lunchtime Hassles Clacky Keyboards Clacky Shoes The Dentist ... Noisy Neighbours Anosmia ("loss of the sense of smell"): I've never had any sense of smell at all. Not ever having had one, its not something I’ve ever missed. It has advantages and disadvantages; I can’t smell flowers or perfume, but neither can I smell other peoples bodily effluences (you know, when the husband/partner lets one off under the bed covers and sighs, “Woa, that’s a goodun.”). At school, whenever one of the boys let off Yet Another Stink Bomb in science class, it was always me the teachers came to get – I was the only person who could go into the ‘smelly’ classroom to open windows and retrieve bags for the next lesson. One of the Definite Downsides of being unable to smell is that I changed every single ‘full’ nappy for all three of my sons because, my husband said, “I couldn’t smell it” (no, but I can see it). I blame my lack of culinary skills on anosmia (well, I have to blame it on something). I can’t smell anything cooking, its all fresh air to me. Burning? How would I know? In fact, I only know something is amiss when I see smoke curling out of the oven. How my three sons survived childhood on my cooking alone is a mystery. I used to put meals in front of them and they’d prod it and ask, “What is it? Is it edible?” “Of course it is,” I’d say gaily, “Carbon is good for you.” “In such huge quantities?” they’d drawl.

Encyclopedia Index A Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index A Anosmia 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. 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

ANOSMIA September 15, 1994 Willard C. Harrill, M.D. Chemosensory disorders affect approximately two million adults in the U.S. It was found that from 1975 to 1976, over 500,000 visits to physician's offices were for evaluation of possible chemosensory dysfunction. Not until this past decade, has a focused, scientific effort been directed to the study of chemosensory disorders and their diagnosis and treatment. The NIH, in 1979, funded the establishment of several chemosensory research centers. It is through the efforts of these centers that a comprehensive understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of smell disorders have been obtained. The role of MRI is more limited in its usefulness. Its role should be limited to the evaluation of intracranial processes that are not easily evaluated with CT scans, such as Multiple Sclerosis or when tumor extension into the cranial cavity, especially in the region of the skull base. Other than these specific indications, the routine use of these expensive diagnostic tests has an extremely low cost-benefit ratio and should not be used. The cornerstone for the diagnosis of olfactory dysfunction is olfactory testing and taste testing. The discrimination of taste from smell dysfunction is important because the two senses are integrally related in their ability to providing chemosensory information.

A temporary loss of smell can be caused by a stuffy nose while a permanent loss of smell may be caused by death of olfactory cells in the nose, or brain injury in which there is damage to the olfactory nerve or damage to the part of the frontal lobes of brain itself that detect and process smell.
