to olfactory loss beyond nasal polyposis. The use of antibiotics is not currently in the guideline
recommendationsforCRSwNP,althoughVanZeleetalrecentlyconductedadouble-blind,randomized,

change in smell loss. Methylprednisolone provided a more dramatic improvement initially, but these

Twenty-four patients noticed some symptomatic improvement including

antagonists. Prospective randomized controlled trials are needed. These medications are not currently

If patients improve with medical therapy, maintenance regimens including intranasal steroids are
prescribed,butlongstandingimprovement,particularlyinolfactoryloss,canbeproblematic.

Patients
with either form of CRS who fail to improve with medical therapy, or require high-dose oral
corticosteroidstocontrolsymptoms,maybecandidatesforsurgicaltherapy.ApreoperativeCTshouldbe
obtained to facilitate surgical planning and to confirm the diagnosis (if not already identified via
endoscopy).
SurgicalTreatmentofChronicRhinosinusitis
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,CRSwNPhasamuchhigherincidenceofassociatedsmelllossthanCRSsNPandcasesofmore
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
inflammatoryprocess,developingindependentlyofventilationstatus.Assuch,newer,minimallyinvasive
balloon dilatational techniques, which are fundamentally geared toward establishing sinus ventilation
alone,maynotbeadequateformanagementofCRSwNP.Actualstudiesofballoondilatationaloneforthe

ispolyprecurrence.Studiesindicatethataround20%ofpatientswillrequirerepeatESSwithin5years
tomaintain symptomcontrol.
59
Moreover, hyposmia maybe the most difficultsymptom 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 sensationat 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
sensationinCRSwNP.Jafeketal

postoperatively. They foundthat improvementto mild hyposmia occurred at 3 months postoperatively
with olfactory declineto preoperative states between 3 to 6 months postoperatively. Rowe-Jones and

PostinfectiousOlfactoryDisorders
The commoncold, whilea minorinconvenienceformost, remainsascourgeofmodernmedicine,with

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
sufferingfrompostinfectiousolfactorydisorderatanyonetime.Virusesthatgiverisetothecommoncold
are thought to be the pathological agents responsible for postinfectious olfactory loss. These include
rhinoviruses(30to50%),parainfluenzavirus(5%),coronavirus(10to15%),influenzavirus(5to15%),
coxsackievirus(<5%),adenoviruses(<5%),andrespiratorysyncytialviruses(10%).However,thereare

However,anotherstudypublishedthesameyearbySuzukietalshowedthatat

Post-traumaticOlfactoryDisorders
The clinical term post-traumatic anosmia (PTA) is commonly used to describe olfactory impairment

Olfactory lossduetohead trauma canbe
dividedintofourmechanismsasdiscussedbelow,andcanbetheresultofanycombinationsofthese.
Head or facial trauma is responsible for 17 to 24% of all cases of smell loss presenting to a
physician.
DirectInjurytotheNoseandFacewithorwithoutNasalandFacialFractures
Headtraumaassociatedwithdirectfacialandnasalinjuries,with or withoutfractures, often resultsin
edema and mucosal hematoma of the nasal passages, which can lead to olfactory impairment by
preventing odors from reaching the olfactorycleft and olfactory receptors (conductive disorder) (Fig.
8.2).Thissametraumacancauseinjurytotheolfactoryreceptorsdirectly,orlateronbyscarringofthe
olfactoryepitheliumandpossibledevelopmentofrhinosinusitis.

Withtime,astheedemaandpossible
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,canleadtolongertermolfactoryloss.Theincidenceofolfactorylossinfacialandnasal
fracturesvariesfrom 11to60%.

more likely to cause olfactory injury than trauma to other areas.
