Conclusion
Both postinfectious and post-traumatic olfactory disorders have the potential to cause significant
functionaldisturbancesofbothquantitativeandqualitativeolfaction.Thischapterhighlightssomeofthe
potential therapeutic options, but theauthors acknowledgethat there is still much work to be done in
findingmoreeffectivesolutionsfortheseconditions.

Diagnosis of olfactory dysfunction is often difficult, especially for toxicant and therapeutic agent
exposure. The patient'shistory,including the delaybetween exposure and clinical manifestation, is the
keystoneofdiagnosis.Moreover,theclinicianmustconsiderthatcombinationsofcausalfactorsmaybe

ToxicantsandIndustrialAgents
Acute or chronic exposure to toxicants and industrial agents may have deleterious effects on
olfactoryfunction.
Althoughmanyreports inthe literaturesuggestthat awidevariety oftoxicantsmayhavea deleterious
effectonthe chemosensory function in general and on theolfactioninparticular, specific information
regardingthepathophysiology,thetime–doseeffect,andthepotentialofrecoveryispoor.Theolfactory

dusts(cotton, silicone,cement,lead, coal, chromium,andnickel) andchemicals such as sulfuric acid,
trichloroethyleneandhydrogenhavebeenalsoassociatedwitholfactorydysfunction.
Chronic exposure to cadmium has been well reported in a large cohort of workers who handle
electrical batteries containingcadmium and can lead to olfactory disorder. Chronic exposureto gases
(carbon disulfide, carbonmonoxide, sulfur dioxide) or tosolvents (acetone,acetophenone, turpentine)
canalsoinducesmelldisorders.

Pathophysiology focuses mainly on histological damage (replacement of the neuroepithelium by
respiratory epithelium), decreased function in the Bowman gland, and direct toxicity to the olfactory
receptorcell(bythemoleculeitself,orafterenzymaticactivationtotheproximatetoxicant).Thehealthof
thehostisimportantandmayinfluencetheoutcomeofexposureoftheolfactoryepitheliumtotoxins.An
upperrespiratoryinfection,forexample,mayinducesevereolfactorydysfunctionifpresentatthesame
timeasatoxicexposurethatwouldnotinflictseveredamageifpresentalone.
Exposure of the olfactory neuroepithelium to a toxic agent stimulates defense mechanisms such as
secretion ofenzymes or proteins that protect the integrity of the neuroepithelium, or activation of the

trigeminal reflex, whichhasa directrole in eliminating and reducing the risk of olfactorydamage by
inducing glandular secretions, sneezing, and watery discharge from the nasal mucosa and the eye.
Protectionoftheolfactoryneuroepitheliumisachievedthroughstructuralrecoveryofolfactorytissue,an
increase in metabolizing enzymes that facilitate olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) recovery, and an
increase in metal chelating agents. Localization of membranetransporters and efflux mechanisms also
protecttheintegrityoftheneuroepithelium.
Epidemiological studies in workplaces known to be causative for olfactory dysfunction should be
performed,alongwithanimalstudiestotestcompoundsforpotentialolfactorytoxicity.Intheabsenceof
such evidence, the precautionary principle should be applied to workers in whom toxicant-related
olfactorydysfunctionissuspected.

TherapeuticAgents

Drug-induced olfactory dysfunction is often reversible and related to the duration of intake. In drug-

olfactory dysfunction may be a preclinical sign of neurodegenerative disorder (e.g., Alzheimer or
Parkinson diseases). It is generallyassumed that patients with idiopathicolfactory lossneedtobere-

EndocrineDisorders
Variousendocrinedisordersmayaffectchemosensoryfunction.
Manypatients with endocrine disorders complain of olfactory dysfunction,but the pathophysiological
mechanism is poorly understood.
20–22
This chemosensory dysfunction is often accompanied by other
sensory(hearing,vision)orproprioceptivedisorders.Ingeneral,endocrinedisorderisassociatedwitha
decrease in olfactory function, although adrenocortical insufficiency (Addison disease) may lead to
increasedsensitivitytochemosensorystimuli.Turnersyndrome(chromatin-negativegonadaldysgenesis),
Cushing syndrome (excessive secretion of adrenal corticosteroids), hypothyroidism, and
pseudohypoparathyroidism are also medical conditions where olfactory function is impaired. The
mechanismseemstoaffecttheneuroepitheliallevel,whereendocrinedysfunctionmayaltertransduction

CongenitalOlfactoryDisorder
Absence or hypoplasia of the OBor abnormal depthofthe olfactorysulcus may be relatedto a
congenitalolfactorydisorder.
Olfactorydysfunction sincebirth orchildhoodmaybeclassedas syndromic(genetic andcomplete)or
nonsyndromic(isolatedandincomplete).Incompleteandgeneticdysfunction,theolfactorydysfunctionis

or CHARGEsyndrome are welldescribed.

Kalmann syndromeencompasses ahypogonadotrophic
hypogonadismassociatedwithsevereolfactorydysfunction.Kalmannsyndromeisanautosomaldominant
condition with incomplete expressivity and with a morpho type including cryptorchidism, midline
craniofacial abnormalities, toothagenesis, deafness,andrenal abnormalities. Its incidenceis higher in
men (1 in 10,000) than in women (1 in 50,000). This syndrome occurs far less often than isolated
olfactorydysfunction,andthetermisolatedanosmia(IA)hasbeenintroducedtodescribepatientswithan

TumoralCausesofOlfactoryDisorder
(SeeTable9.3)
Some head and neck tumors may present as an olfactory disorder or when exploring olfactory
function,especiallywithunilateraldysfunctionorwhen a significant discrepancy between thetwo
nostrilsisobserved.

manifestationisveryrare.
Extracranial (intranasal) tumoral lesions usually cause other clinical symptoms, such as nasal
obstruction, and expresses unilateral symptoms: inverted papilloma, Schwannoma, angiofibroma,
adenocarcinoma,esthesioneuroblastoma,andepidermoidcarcinoma.Pathologyoftheolfactorycleftsuch
as hamartoma adenomatoid or adenocarcinoma leads to homolateral olfactorydysfunction if explored
withunilateralolfactorytesting(Figs.9.2,9.3and9.4).Dependingonthehistologicaldiagnosis,theage
ofthepatient,theextentofthesurgicalprocedure,ortheproposedtreatment,theevolutionoftheolfactory
dysfunctionmaybevariable.
Intracranial tumoral lesionsmay also impede olfactoryfunction by compromising OB andolfactory
tract function. Olfactory groove meningiomas, suprasellar ridge meningiomas, and pituitary growths
extendingabovethediaphragmofthesellaturcicamaydevelopfromtheduraofthecribriformplateand
surroundingtissue,andcauseolfactorydysfunction(Fig.9.5). Frontalortemporallobe tumorsor non-
neoplasticspace-fillinglesions(e.g.,aneurysm,hydrocephaluslocatedintheareaofthethirdventricle)
havealsobeenreportedwitholfactorydysfunction.
Althougholfactoryevaluation isnot theprimary diagnostic toolintheclinicalwork-up ofheadand
necktumors, a unilateral disorder or an extensive side difference inolfactoryfunction should arouse
suspicionandleadtofurtherevaluationusingimagingtechniques.
