Improvementismorelikelytooccurinindividualswithhyposmiaratherthananosmia,andinthose
youngerthan74years.
Conclusion
Both postinfectious and post-traumatic olfactory disorders have the potential to cause significant
functionaldisturbancesofbothquantitativeandqualitativeolfaction.Thischapterhighlightssomeofthe
potential therapeutic options, but theauthors acknowledgethat there is still much work to be done in
findingmoreeffectivesolutionsfortheseconditions.

PhilippeRombaux
Introduction
Olfactoryandgustatorydisorderscanbeduetoawidevarietyofcausesandcanprofoundlyinfluencea
patient'squalityoflife.Thischaptercoverstoxicants,industrialagents,andtherapeuticagentsthatcause
olfactorydysfunction, idiopathicolfactoryloss,congenitalanosmia,endocrinediseasesassociatedwith
olfactory dysfunction, postsurgical olfactory dysfunction, and tumor-related olfactory disorders.
Miscellaneouscausesofolfactorydysfunction,asdefinedinthischapter,accountforless than10% of
cases.
1,2
Adetailedhistoryandexaminationisnecessarytodetermineanylifestylefactorsortoxicantor
drugconsumptionthatmayberelatedtoolfactorydysfunction.Counselingofthepatientismandatoryto
reduce toxicant exposure; change any implicated medications; give anaccurate prognosis; or treat, as
soonaspossible,atumorforwhicholfactorydysfunctionisthesoleandprimarymanifestation.
Diagnosis of olfactory dysfunction is often difficult, especially for toxicant and therapeutic agent
exposure. The patient'shistory,including the delaybetween exposure and clinical manifestation, is the
keystoneofdiagnosis.Moreover,theclinicianmustconsiderthatcombinationsofcausalfactorsmaybe
present.Thisisespeciallytrueforapatientinwhomatherapeuticagentissuspectedtobethecausative
agent.It should also be stressed that inthis categoryofmiscellaneous causes ofolfactorydysfunction,
olfactoryfunctionneedstobeobjectivelyevaluated(seeChapter6)becauseclinicalfindingsmayleadto
legalaction,changesinprescribed medications,changesinprofessionalhabit,ordecisionsconcerning
thesurgicalmanagementofthepatient.
ToxicantsandIndustrialAgents
Acute or chronic exposure to toxicants and industrial agents may have deleterious effects on

Althoughmanyreports inthe literaturesuggestthat awidevariety oftoxicantsmayhavea deleterious
effectonthe chemosensory function in general and on theolfactioninparticular, specific information
regardingthepathophysiology,thetime–doseeffect,andthepotentialofrecoveryispoor.Theolfactory
neuroepitheliumishighlysensitivetothechemicalormicrobiologicalenvironmentbecauseitactsasan
interface between the outside world inthe upper airwaysandthe inside world inthe central nervous
system.Manydefensemechanismsexistattheolfactoryneuroepithelialleveltoinducedetoxificationand
rapidregenerationafterchronicandrepetitiveoracuteandbriefexposuretoirritantsandtoxins.
Exposuretotoxicvolatilesatlevelssufficienttoimpairolfactionusuallyoccursbyaccident.Thelist
of chemicals that is theoretically toxic to the olfactory system is extensive and reported cases are
numerouseventhoughtoxicantexposureisthoughttoberesponsibleforlessthan2%ofcasesofolfactory
dysfunction(Table 9.1).

The degreeofexposure,concentration,andintrinsictoxicity oftheagent,as

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
receptorcell(bythemoleculeitself,orafterenzymaticactivationtotheproximatetoxicant).Thehealthof
thehostisimportantandmayinfluencetheoutcomeofexposureoftheolfactoryepitheliumtotoxins.An
upperrespiratoryinfection,forexample,mayinducesevereolfactorydysfunctionifpresentatthesame
timeasatoxicexposurethatwouldnotinflictseveredamageifpresentalone.
Exposure of the olfactory neuroepithelium to a toxic agent stimulates defense mechanisms such as
secretion ofenzymes or proteins that protect the integrity of the neuroepithelium, or activation of the
trigeminal reflex, whichhasa directrole in eliminating and reducing the risk of olfactorydamage by
inducing glandular secretions, sneezing, and watery discharge from the nasal mucosa and the eye.
Protectionoftheolfactoryneuroepitheliumisachievedthroughstructuralrecoveryofolfactorytissue,an
increase in metabolizing enzymes that facilitate olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) recovery, and an
increase in metal chelating agents. Localization of membranetransporters and efflux mechanisms also
protecttheintegrityoftheneuroepithelium.
Epidemiological studies in workplaces known to be causative for olfactory dysfunction should be
performed,alongwithanimalstudiestotestcompoundsforpotentialolfactorytoxicity.Intheabsenceof
such evidence, the precautionary principle should be applied to workers in whom toxicant-related
olfactorydysfunctionissuspected.

TherapeuticAgents
Therapeuticagentsaffectolfactionqualitativelymorethanquantitatively,andaffecttastemoreoften
thanolfaction.Drug-inducedchemosensorydysfunctionisoftenreversible.
Drug-induced olfactory dysfunction is often reversible and related to the duration of intake. In drug-
relatedchemosensorydysfunction, tasteismuch more affected thansmell
14,15
andqualitativedisorders
are more common than quantitative disorders.
16
 Manydifferent therapeutic agents may be responsible
(Table9.2), anddocumentationofthe time course between medicationintake andthe development of
clinicalsymptomsisessential.Inclinicalpractice,itissometimesdifficulttodifferentiatebetweendrug-
induced chemosensory dysfunction and other conditions such as postinfectious olfactory loss. A
comprehensivehistoryisessentialtoaidthediagnosis.Theconditionforwhichthemedicationhasbeen
prescribedmustbeconsideredasapossiblecause,aswellasendocrinedisorders,chronicrenalfailure,
chronic hepatic dysfunction, severe infection, or diabetes. Therapeutic agents can cause olfactory
dysfunctionattheperipheryandatreceptorlevel.Typically,theolfactorydysfunctionisreversibleonce
themedicaltreatmentisdiscontinued(ifpossible).Recoverydependsonmanyfactors,suchasage,sex,
environmentalstatus(e.g.,tobaccointake,exposuretoothertoxicants),andsinonasalstatus(e.g.,chronic
rhinosinusitis,allergy).Therapeuticagentsleading to a negative effectonolfactory perceptionmay be
distinguishedasa class effect(e.g.,quinolone antibiotics) or onanindividual basis with single cases
reported.Informingthepharmaceuticalcompanyofthepotentialassociationbetweenamedicationanda
sideeffectonolfactoryfunctionisalsomandatory.
IdiopathicOlfactoryDisorder
Ifnocauseisfoundforthediagnosis,apatientisconsideredtohaveidiopathicolfactoryloss.
Apreclinicalstateofneurodegenerativediseaseshouldnotbeforgotten.
Despiteextensivework-upwithpsychophysicaltesting(uni-orbilateral),electrophysiologicalrecording,
structuralmagnetic resonanceimaging (MRI),patient history,andendonasalendoscopic examinationof
theolfactorycleft,noexplanationforolfactorysymptomsisfoundinasignificantnumberofpatients.This
isclassifiedasidiopathicolfactoryloss.

Inalargecohortofpatients,olfactoryloss wasclassedas idiopathicinupto18%ofcases.
17
This
mustbeadiagnosisofexclusionmadeaftercompleteandextensiveevaluationoftheconfirmedolfactory
dysfunction.Inpatientswithidiopathicolfactoryloss,theolfactorybulb(OB)issmallerthanincontrols,
which seems to suggest an involvement of the OB in its pathophysiology.
18
 An unsuccessful oral
corticosteroidtrialshouldalsoserveasadiagnosticcriterion.
19
Caremustalsobetakentorememberthat
olfactory dysfunction may be a preclinical sign of neurodegenerative disorder (e.g., Alzheimer or
Parkinson diseases). It is generallyassumed that patients with idiopathicolfactory lossneedtobere-
examinedafterseveralmonths,withendonasalendoscopicexamination,psychophysicaltesting,andeven
structuralimaging,toruleoutanydevelopingdiseasesuchasneurodegenerativediseases.
EndocrineDisorders
Variousendocrinedisordersmayaffectchemosensoryfunction.
Manypatients 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)orproprioceptivedisorders.Ingeneral,endocrinedisorderisassociatedwitha
decrease in olfactory function, although adrenocortical insufficiency (Addison disease) may lead to
increasedsensitivitytochemosensorystimuli.Turnersyndrome(chromatin-negativegonadaldysgenesis),
Cushing syndrome (excessive secretion of adrenal corticosteroids), hypothyroidism, and
pseudohypoparathyroidism are also medical conditions where olfactory function is impaired. The
mechanismseemstoaffecttheneuroepitheliallevel,whereendocrinedysfunctionmayaltertransduction
andsensorineuralfunction.Itisnotcleariftreatmentoftheendocrinedisorderhasapositiveimpacton
olfactoryrecovery,oriftheprognosisofbothconditionsislinked.
CongenitalOlfactoryDisorder
Absence or hypoplasia of the OBor abnormal depthofthe olfactorysulcus may be relatedto a
congenitalolfactorydisorder.
Olfactorydysfunction sincebirth orchildhoodmaybeclassedas syndromic(genetic andcomplete)or
nonsyndromic(isolatedandincomplete).Incompleteandgeneticdysfunction,theolfactorydysfunctionis
partofthegeneraldeficiencyinthemorphotype.Inthisfield,Kalmannsyndrome,Klinefeltersyndrome,
or CHARGEsyndrome are welldescribed.
23–30
Kalmann syndromeencompasses ahypogonadotrophic
hypogonadismassociatedwithsevereolfactorydysfunction.Kalmannsyndromeisanautosomaldominant
condition with incomplete expressivity and with a morpho type including cryptorchidism, midline
craniofacial abnormalities, toothagenesis, deafness,andrenal abnormalities. Its incidenceis higher in
men (1 in 10,000) than in women (1 in 50,000). This syndrome occurs far less often than isolated
olfactorydysfunction,andthetermisolatedanosmia(IA)hasbeenintroducedtodescribepatientswithan
absenceofanyolfactorystructureonMRIwithnootherendocrine,sensory,orrenaldisorders.
Congenitalolfactorydysfunctionischaracterizedbytheabsenceofanyolfactoryperceptionsincebirth
orchildhood,andistypicallyrelatedtoaplasiaorabsenceoftheOBasrevealedbyMRI.Aplasiaofthe
OBmaybebilateralandsymmetrical,morepronouncedononeside,orunilateral.AbsenceofanOBis
associatedwithdecreaseddepth—orevencompleteabsence—oftheolfactorysulcus,andwithabsence
ofanyolfactorytract.
28–30
Inbothsyndromicandisolatedcongenitalanosmia,threedifferentvariations
havebeenreported:(1) hypoplasia oftheOBwith olfactorytractspresent; (2)aplasiaoftheOBwith
olfactorytractspresent;and(3)aplasiaofboththeOBandolfactorytracts(Fig.9.1).
Time of diagnosis in childrenwith nonsyndromic dysfunction is oftenaround 8 to 14 years, when
olfactorydysfunctionisfirstreportedbythepatient.AbsenceoftheOBonMRIexaminationissometimes
difficulttoascertainbecauseoftechnicaldifficulties.Decreasedolfactorydepth,calculatedintheplane
posteriortotheeyeball,isthereforeanimportantfeaturethatconfirmsthediagnosisofcongenitalabsence
oftheOB.Inalargecohortofpatients,theminimaldepthofolfactorysulcusassociatedwithpresenceof
theOBandolfactorytract,withaspecificityof1,was8mm.Thismeansthat,belowthisvalue,thereisa
highprobabilitythattheOBandolfactorytractsareabsent.
31
There is notreatment,medical or surgical, thatimproves olfactory functionin congenitallyaffected
patients.Counselinganddiscussionofcopingstrategiesseemtobethebestwaytohelpthesepatients.
TumoralCausesofOlfactoryDisorder
(SeeTable9.3)
Some head and neck tumors may present as an olfactory disorder or when exploring olfactory
function,especiallywithunilateraldysfunctionorwhen a significant discrepancy between thetwo
nostrilsisobserved.

Extracranial (intranasal) tumoral lesions usually cause other clinical symptoms, such as nasal
obstruction, and expresses unilateral symptoms: inverted papilloma, Schwannoma, angiofibroma,
adenocarcinoma,esthesioneuroblastoma,andepidermoidcarcinoma.Pathologyoftheolfactorycleftsuch
as hamartoma adenomatoid or adenocarcinoma leads to homolateral olfactorydysfunction if explored
withunilateralolfactorytesting(Figs.9.2,9.3and9.4).Dependingonthehistologicaldiagnosis,theage
ofthepatient,theextentofthesurgicalprocedure,ortheproposedtreatment,theevolutionoftheolfactory
dysfunctionmaybevariable.
Intracranial tumoral lesionsmay also impede olfactoryfunction by compromising OB andolfactory
tract function. Olfactory groove meningiomas, suprasellar ridge meningiomas, and pituitary growths
extendingabovethediaphragmofthesellaturcicamaydevelopfromtheduraofthecribriformplateand
surroundingtissue,andcauseolfactorydysfunction(Fig.9.5). Frontalortemporallobe tumorsor non-
neoplasticspace-fillinglesions(e.g.,aneurysm,hydrocephaluslocatedintheareaofthethirdventricle)
havealsobeenreportedwitholfactorydysfunction.
Althougholfactoryevaluation isnot theprimary diagnostic toolintheclinicalwork-up ofheadand
necktumors, a unilateral disorder or an extensive side difference inolfactoryfunction should arouse
suspicionandleadtofurtherevaluationusingimagingtechniques.
