corticosteroidswitheventransientimprovementshouldsuggestthepossibilityofadditionalcontributions
to olfactory loss beyond nasal polyposis. The use of antibiotics is not currently in the guideline
recommendationsforCRSwNP,althoughVanZeleetalrecentlyconductedadouble-blind,randomized,
placebo-controlled trial where patients with recurrent polyposis after surgery or massive polyposis
receivedplacebo (n=19),methylprednisolonetaper(n = 14),or doxycycline(n = 14)for20 days.
53
Theyfoundthatdoxycyclineprovidedlastingreductioninpolypsizeandreductioninpostnasaldripfor
the duration of the 12-week study period. Unfortunately, doxycycline did not provide any significant
change in smell loss. Methylprednisolone provided a more dramatic improvement initially, but these
changes—includingreducedhyposmia—returned tobaselinelevelswithin 1to2 months.
53
It hastobe
keptinmindthatonlysubjectiveratingswereobtained.Theseareknowntoberatherunreliableandtend
toreflectnasalbreathingratherthanmeasuredolfactoryfunction.
54
Oral antihistaminemayalsobebeneficialinallergic patientspostoperatively topreventrecurrence,
buthasnoimpactonpolypsizeandnodocumentedeffectonhyposmia.Oralleukotrieneantagonistsmay
havesomebenefitin thetreatmentofpolyps.Parnesand Chumafollowedanuncontrolledcohortof36
patients withCRSwNP whowere givenzafirlukast or zileutonin additiontostandard medical therapy
over a mean of 7.4 months.
55
 Twenty-four patients noticed some symptomatic improvement including
rated,butnotmeasured,olfactoryacuity.However,thisiswithintherangeofexpectedimprovementfrom
standard medical therapy, making it difficult to attribute the change to the addition of leukotriene
antagonists. Prospective randomized controlled trials are needed. These medications are not currently
recommendedasastandardpartoftherapy.
If patients improve with medical therapy, maintenance regimens including intranasal steroids are
prescribed,butlongstandingimprovement,particularlyinolfactoryloss,canbeproblematic.
56
Patients
with either form of CRS who fail to improve with medical therapy, or require high-dose oral
corticosteroidstocontrolsymptoms,maybecandidatesforsurgicaltherapy.ApreoperativeCTshouldbe
obtained to facilitate surgical planning and to confirm the diagnosis (if not already identified via
endoscopy).
SurgicalTreatmentofChronicRhinosinusitis
In cases of medical failure, endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS) is the current gold standard approach to
addressing CRS symptoms, including hyposmia. An attempt should be made to address the affected
sinuses conservatively, without disruption of other sinus mucosa or outflow tracts.
57,58
 As mentioned
earlier,CRSwNPhasamuchhigherincidenceofassociatedsmelllossthanCRSsNPandcasesofmore
severe olfactory deficits are only rarely the result of CRSsNP alone. Surgical goals are potentially
different for the two phenotypes as CRSsNP is widely believed to be related to mechanical outflow
obstruction at the osteomeatal complex, while CRSwNP probably reflects a more primary mucosal
inflammatoryprocess,developingindependentlyofventilationstatus.Assuch,newer,minimallyinvasive
balloon dilatational techniques, which are fundamentally geared toward establishing sinus ventilation
alone,maynotbeadequateformanagementofCRSwNP.Actualstudiesofballoondilatationaloneforthe
managementofCRSwNParelacking,however.StandardESSventilatesthesinuscavitiesandremoves
inflamed sinonasal tissue (including polyps), reducing the inflammatory burden as well as improving
airflowtotheolfactorycleft.Postoperatively,intranasalsteroidshaveincreasedaccesstothenasaland
olfactorymucosa,presumablyenhancingefficacy.ThelimitationofESSforthemanagementofCRSwNP
ispolyprecurrence.Studiesindicatethataround20%ofpatientswillrequirerepeatESSwithin5years
tomaintain symptomcontrol.
59
 Moreover, hyposmia maybe the most difficultsymptom to control, as
smell loss is often the first sign of polyp regrowth. Hence, a combination of intermittent oral
corticosteroid bursts may be required post ESS to maintain olfactory sensationat normal levels. The
clinician must weigh the long-term side effects of this regimen versus quality of life issues in the
individual patient. Several studies have specifically focused on sinus surgery to maintain olfactory
sensationinCRSwNP.Jafeketal
60
firstreportedtwopatientswhohadnasalpolypsandanosmia.Both
patientshadundergonepolypectomyandsufferedrecurrenceoftheirpolyps.Followingrevisionsurgery,
both patientsremainedanosmic, ultimatelynecessitating oral corticosteroid regimensto maintainlong-
termimprovementofanosmia.Therequirementforcombinedtreatment(surgeryandcorticosteroids)was
thefirstsuggestionthatolfactorylossinCRSwNPwasmorecomplexthansimplemechanicalblockageof
airflowtothe olfactorycleft.Morerecently,Stevensstudied24patientswhohadpolypswith anosmia
andunderwentsinussurgery.
61
Halfofthepatientsremainedanosmicaftersurgeryandwereunresponsive
tonasalsteroids,butmostofthesepatients’senseofsmellwasrestoredwithoralsteroids.Inthisseries,
thepatientswhohadimprovementand thosewho didnot weresimilar,allhaving preoperative diffuse
sinonasalpolyposis. Theeffectivenessoforal corticosteroids inrestoring olfactory function reinforced
the work of Jafek's group, suggesting a direct effect on the olfactoryneuroepithelium. Further studies
focusingprimarilyonsurgicaleffectshavealsodocumentedimprovementinolfaction,albeitincomplete.
Lund andScadding

improvementofvisualanalogandUniversityofPennsylvaniaSmellIdentificationTest(UPSIT)scores;
however the average UPSIT score of 25 remained in the markedly hyposmic range. Klimek et al
63
evaluated 31 patients with hyposmia and CRSwP immediately prior to surgery and at six times
postoperatively. They foundthat improvementto mild hyposmia occurred at 3 months postoperatively
with olfactory declineto preoperative states between 3 to 6 months postoperatively. Rowe-Jones and

64

PadeandHummel
65
examined387patientspreoperativelyand206patientspostsinussurgeryusingthe
“Sniffin’ Sticks” test battery, and were only able to measure an increase in olfactory function in 48
patientswhile140didnotshowanychangeintheirolfactoryfunction.Ithastobepointedoutthatitisof
great importance to measure olfactory function rather than evaluate olfactory function using a visual
analogscaleashascommonlybeendone,especiallyinearlierstudies.Thesedataconcerningolfactory
self-assessment are rather unreliable. The flowchart (Fig. 7.4) summarizes the work-up and possible
therapeuticoptionsinCRS.
Conclusion
CRS,typically the polypoidform, is associated with smell loss as a major complaint. Thepathology
probablyinvolvesdiminishedaccessofodorantstotheolfactorycleftaswellasdirectinflammationof
the neuroepithelium. Medical therapy including oral corticosteroids is standard, with surgery (ESS)
offeredtothosewhofailtoimproveorrequireexcessivecorticosteroidstocontrolsymptoms.Physicians
andpatientsshouldunderstandthatsmelllossmaybethemostdifficultofallCRSsymptomstotreatlong
term, often necessitating combined ESS and medical therapy. Studies indicate that long-term oral
corticosteroidsmaybenecessaryaswell,tomaintainolfactorysensationinthenormosmicrange.

CaseStudy
A 37-year-oldmanwasreferredforevaluationofthegradualonsetofnasal symptomsover thepast5
months. He was severely hyposmic but his other CRS symptoms were described as relatively mild,
includingnasalobstruction,facialpressure,andincreasedsneezing.Hiswifenoticedthathehadstarted
snoring more often. He denied any symptoms of purulent discharge, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or
historyofasthma.Hehadbeentreatedwithintranasalcorticosteroidswithoutmuchimprovement.
Hewasotherwisegenerallyhealthywithnoknownallergies.Skinpricktestingwaspositivetotrees,
dustmites,cats,dogs,andcockroaches.Hedid notsmokeor drink alcohol.He workedasa financial
director.
A completeheadandneckexaminationwas performed,yielding onlyedematousinferiorturbinates.
Flexiblenasalendoscopydemonstratednasalpolypsoriginatingfromhismiddlemeatus,andoccupying
50%ofhisnasalairwaybilaterally.
CTdemonstratedthepresenceofpolypsinallofhissinuses(Fig.7.5)andacourseoforalandnasal
steroidswasinitiated.Hissymptomsimprovedonlyminimally,andheagreedtoESSwithpolypectomy.
Hispathologyrevealednasalpolypswithmarkedeosinophilia.
Postoperatively, he was able to obtain significant improvement on maintenance therapy with
fluticasone propionate only. His UPSIT scores increased from 23/40 (severe microsomia) to 36/40
(normal)at6monthspostsurgery.

Etiology,Prevalence,andPathophysiology
PostinfectiousOlfactoryDisorders
The commoncold, whilea minorinconvenienceformost, remainsascourgeofmodernmedicine,with
treatmentslimitedtoover-the-counterremedies.Allofuscanprobablyrecallhavinghadacoldwhere
our sense of smell and the pleasure of eating was lost for a few days. However, for an unfortunate
minority,thisdisturbanceinolfactoryfunctionpersistslongafterthenasalcongestionandrhinorrheahave
abated.Estimatesoftheprevalenceofolfactorydisordersofanycausesuggestthat~5%ofthepopulation
isaffected.
1–4
Postinfectiousolfactorydisordersarebelievedtoaccountfor11to40%ofcases
5,6
with
the higher figures likely to represent the prevalence in specialist centers. Extrapolation of the lower
figures suggests that an estimated 1.7 million people in the USA and 330,000 people in the UK are
sufferingfrompostinfectiousolfactorydisorderatanyonetime.Virusesthatgiverisetothecommoncold
are thought to be the pathological agents responsible for postinfectious olfactory loss. These include
rhinoviruses(30to50%),parainfluenzavirus(5%),coronavirus(10to15%),influenzavirus(5to15%),
coxsackievirus(<5%),adenoviruses(<5%),andrespiratorysyncytialviruses(10%).However,thereare
over200virusesintotalthatcancauseupperrespiratorytractinfections(URTIs).
7
WhenWangetalset
outtostudythemost likely culpritofthisdisparatebandofviruses,theyfoundthatparainfluenzavirus
waspresentin88%ofpatientswithpostviralolfactorylosscomparedwith9%ofcontrols
8
;Sugiuraetal
hadsimilarfindings.
9,10
However,anotherstudypublishedthesameyearbySuzukietalshowedthatat
least four viruses were identified in biopsies from patients with post-viral olfactory loss and
parainfluenza virus only accounted for 1 of the 24 cases examined. Other identified viruses included
Epstein–Barrvirus,rhinovirus,andcoronavirus.
11
Themechanismbywhichthe viruswreaksitshavoc
usuallyinvolveshijackingofthecellularapparatus,buttheexactdetailsmaydependontheactualvirus
implicated.Rhinovirus,forinstance,causesaselectiveneutrophilandmonocyterecruitmenttooccur.The
ensuing inflammatory cascade includes an increase in bradykinin, cytokine, chemokine, and soluble
intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations.
12
 The response in an immunocompetent individual
involvesT-lymphocyteactivation,allowingtheviralpathogentobeeliminated.
Withspecificrespecttotheolfactoryapparatus,thesevirusesappeartocausepartiallossofreceptors
inthe olfactory epithelium.Ultrastructurally, previous studies of olfactoryepithelial biopsyspecimens
have revealed a decrease inthe number ofolfactory receptor cellsandnerve bundles, withsquamous
metaplasiaoccurringinafewcases.
13
Thisreductioninciliatedolfactoryreceptorsmeansthereisalack
ofdendritesandvesiclesattheepithelialsurfaceand,therefore,adecreaseintheareaavailableforodor
moleculedetection.
14
Studiesofpatientswithcongenitalanosmiahaveshownthatthenumberofolfactory
receptors in the neuroepithelium is likely to reflect the severity of the loss.
15
 It is unclear why an
individualmaybe susceptible to theviralagents,but, asthe agerange ofaffectedpatients istypically
afterthefourthdecadeoflife,thereisweightbehindtheargumentofacumulativeeffectofthevirus(es)
onthe olfactoryepithelium.Thismayexplainwhysomepatients donotrecovertheir olfactoryability,
especiallyastheregenerativeabilityoftheolfactoryepitheliumdenudeswithadvancingage.
16
Itisbyvirtueofthispartiallossofreceptorsthatpatientstypicallycomplainofhyposmiaratherthan
anosmia, but, more importantly, they frequently describe various forms of dysosmia.
17
 Decreased
olfactory inputtothe OBs(1–3)down-regulatesdopaminergicinterneurons(arrows),which mayaffect
transmissionfromtheolfactorynervetothebulbandsubsequentprocessingofthosesignalsfromthebulb
(solid/dottedlines)(Fig.8.1).Asall inflammatoryedemaassociatedwiththe initialviral URTIshould
have dissipated after the initial event, postinfectious disorders are considered to be sensorineural
olfactorydisorders(SNODs)andarenotcausedbypathologyinthenasalcavity,olfactorycleft,orthe
paranasal sinuses; that is to say, airflow into the olfactory cleft is normal both orthonasally and
retronasally. Thatdoes not, ofcourse, mean that postinfectious olfactorydisorders are exclusive from
those secondary tochronicrhinosinusitis;indeedtheviralURTI may havebeentheprecursor toacute
bacterial rhinosinusitis that then fails to resolve; there may also be septal deviation. The physician
assessingpatientswithpostinfectiousolfactorylossshouldbear in mind thatthesepatientsmayhavea
multifactorialetiologyimplicatedintheirdisorder.

viralreceptordamageisstronglybelievedtobethekeyculprit.Infact,itislargelyduetothefactthat
postinfectiousandpost-traumaticdisordersaccountformostparosmia,andthatsomedegreeofolfactory
functionispreserved,thattheperipheraltheoryisthemostpopular.CertainlyOBvolumehasbeenshown
tobe decreased inparosmicversus nonparosmicpatients, indicating possible decreased andincorrect
rewiring between theneuroepithelium and theOB.
18,19
 Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies
have shown the impact that the addition of parosmia to hyposmia can have upon central olfactory
processing.
20
Theanteriorcingulategyrus,thalamus,andorbitofrontalcortexshowedmoreactivationin
patientswithonlyhyposmia,addingfurtherweighttothetheory ofdecreasedsignaltrafficbetweenthe
neuroepitheliumandtheOB.Itshouldberemembered,whendiscussingthemechanismofviralimpacton
the olfactory epithelium, thatthe olfactory systemis aportal ofentry forviruses to invadethecentral
nervoussystemandsocentraleffectsofvirusescannotbediscounted.
21,22
•Atleast10%ofolfactorydisordersareduetoviralURTIs.
•Rhinovirusesarethemostcommoninfectiveagent.
•Postinfectiousolfactorylosstypicallyoccursafterthefourthdecadeoflife.
Post-traumaticOlfactoryDisorders
The clinical term post-traumatic anosmia (PTA) is commonly used to describe olfactory impairment
followingaheadinjury.Theinjurycanincludedirectinjurytothefaceandnasalstructuresoranypartof
theskull.Thereportedincidencevariesfrom5%
23
to66%,
24
butthisextremedifferenceisbecauseofthe
inclusionofspecializedsmellcentersthathaveahighincidenceofreferrals.Theimportantpointisthat
PTAisnotanuncommoncauseofolfactoryimpairmentanditshouldbeclinicallypursuedasacausein
anypatientpresentingwitholfactorylossortasteimpairment.Ofcasesofolfactorylosspresentingtoa
physician,17to24%
3
are duetoheadorfacial trauma.
25,26
 Olfactory lossduetohead trauma canbe
dividedintofourmechanismsasdiscussedbelow,andcanbetheresultofanycombinationsofthese.
Head or facial trauma is responsible for 17 to 24% of all cases of smell loss presenting to a
physician.
DirectInjurytotheNoseandFacewithorwithoutNasalandFacialFractures
Headtraumaassociatedwithdirectfacialandnasalinjuries,with or withoutfractures, often resultsin
edema and mucosal hematoma of the nasal passages, which can lead to olfactory impairment by
preventing odors from reaching the olfactorycleft and olfactory receptors (conductive disorder) (Fig.
8.2).Thissametraumacancauseinjurytotheolfactoryreceptorsdirectly,orlateronbyscarringofthe
olfactoryepitheliumandpossibledevelopmentofrhinosinusitis.
24
Withtime,astheedemaandpossible
hematoma subside, the conductive block improves, with possible recovery of olfactory function.
However, injury to the olfactory receptors at the onset or secondary to scar tissue, or presence of
rhinosinusitis,canleadtolongertermolfactoryloss.Theincidenceofolfactorylossinfacialandnasal
fracturesvariesfrom 11to60%.
27,28
Itishardattimestoisolatethe pathophysiology ofolfactory loss
specifically,becauseinjuriestothefaceandnose(e.g.,fractureofthenasalskeleton)maynotonlycause
ablockageofthenose,butalsoproducedirectimpairmentoftheolfactory organandindirectinjury to
olfactorynervesowingtotheaccelerationanddecelerationoftheheadwhenthenasaltraumaoccurs.
Fig.8.2Septaldeviationcontributingtoconductiveolfactorydeficit.
DirectInjurytoAnyPartoftheSkullwithoutContusionorHemorrhageintothe
Brain
In directskull injury, acceleration and deceleration forces shift the brain forward and backward very
rapidly,andtheolfactorynerves,passingthroughthecribriformplateoftheanteriorcranialfossaenroute
totheOB,getshearedorstretched(Fig.8.3).Somestudieshavesuggestedthatoccipitalheadtraumais
more likely to cause olfactory injury than trauma to other areas.
29
 In a series of 168 post-traumatic
anosmiacases,itwasfoundthatinjurytotheocciputandthesidesoftheheadwasmorelikelytocause
greater olfactorynervedamagethanfrontalheadinjuries.
24
Itisbelieved that the frontal sinus may be
somewhatprotectiveinhelpingtodecreasetheforceoftheblow.Fracturesofthecribriformplatewere
relativelyrare.Inthismechanismofolfactoryloss,biopsyoftheneuroepitheliumintheolfactoryclefthas
found degeneration of the olfactory vesicles and cilia.
30
 Other studies of the histopathology of post-
traumaticanosmiahaveconfirmedsimilarfindingstopostinfectiouschanges,withdisorganizationofthe
olfactoryepitheliumaswellasdamagetoolfactorynervefibersandchangesintheOB.
