Anosmia

 

Anosmia means reduced or complete loss of ability to smell. Can be a temporary condition associated with colds or a permanent condition resulting from damage to the olfactory nerve.

Causative factors for Anosmia:

Anosmia has many potential causes, including upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, nasal polyps, nasal tumors, medications, and diseases that affect the nervous system (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease). It can be caused by a variety of factors, from temporary blockage of the nose by a sinus infection to head trauma. Anosmia can be caused by temporary or permanent irritation, or destruction of the mucous membranes inside of nose. Anosmia can be caused by:

  • Acute sinusitis
  • Allergic rhinitis or Hay fever
  • Common cold
  • Non-allergic rhinitis
  • Influenza(Flu)

Symptoms:

The obvious sign of Anosmia is a loss of smell. Some people with Anosmia notice a change in the way things smell. For example, familiar things begin to lack of odour.

How to diagnose Anosmia:

To diagnose Anosmia, doctors use familiar odors or ask patients to use scratch-and-sniff cards. If the patient has difficulty to detecting or identifying the odours is considered to be afflicted with Anosmia. Once the condition is diagnosed, getting to the cause is important, to ensure that the patient receives the appropriate treatment. When Anosmia is congenital, that can be difficult to diagnose, because it may take some time for a child to realize that is missing out on a vital sense, and parents may not catch on when a child is preverbal. Acquired Anosmia has an onset later in life.
