ComplicationsofSurgeryandOlfactoryDysfunction
Evenifnasalandsinussurgeryhavetheprimarygoalofrestoringolfactoryfunction,somesurgical
proceduresmaybeassociatedwithadeteriorationinchemosensoryfunction.
Veryrarecasereportshavebeenpublishedwhereanolfactorydysfunctionoccurredduringthecourseof
surgerynotassociatedwitholfactorypathways.Avarietyofdrugsgivenduringasurgicalproceduremay
impede olfaction after oral administration, systemic injection, or topical application. Halogenated
volatile agents given during anesthesia may also induce an unpleasant smell perception during
inhalational induction.Olfactorydysfunctionis usually transient anda causal relationship between the
anestheticmedicationandthechemosensorydysfunctionisoftendifficulttoascertain.
34–36
After nasal surgery, olfactory function may be worse for several reasons: nasal packing; mucosal
edema;olfactory neuroepithelial lesions;or scar tissueformation. Althoughveryrareandtime-limited,
olfactorydysfunctionaftercommonnasalsurgery(e.g.,septoplasty,rhinoseptoplasty,turbinectomy,etc.)
hasbeenreportedwithvariableprevalence(Table9.4).
37–45
Endoscopicendonasalsurgeryintheethmoidsinusesandintheolfactorycleftmayalsoinducesevere
olfactorydysfunctionasaresultof:metaplasiaoftheolfactoryneuroepithelium;scartissueformationin
the olfactorycleft;superinfection withneurotoxin-producingbacteria;iatrogenicinjury tothe sinonasal
mucosa,whereolfactory receptorneuronsare present;andiatrogenicinjury tothe olfactory cleft (e.g.,
cerebrospinal fluid leak, reconstruction of the anterior cranial base). This is especially true when
extensiveorradicalsurgeryhasbeenperformed,inducingacompleteatrophicrhinitis(Fig.9.6).

Fig. 9.6 Coronal magnetic resonance image (T2 sequence) of the paranasal sinuses showing a postoperative view after radical surgery
(completeremovalofinferiorandmiddleturbinate,andethmoidmucosa:whitearrows)leadingtoatrophicrhinitiswitholfactorydisorder.
Aclassicalapproach totheanteriorcranialfossaforskull basetumorsis almostalwaysassociated
with permanent postoperative olfactory dysfunctionbecause olfactorystructures are an obstacle to the
approach. Alternative routes exist that better spare the olfactory apparatus, although these must not
jeopardizethe approachor thetumorremoval.
45
Olfactory dysfunctioncanalsobe present after trans-
sphenoidalhypophysectomy.
34
TheOlfactoryCleftSyndrome
Congestionoftheolfactorycleftwithoutinflammationoftheparanasalsinusesmayhaveanegative
impactonolfactoryfunctionandmayberelatedtotheso-calledolfactorycleftsyndrome.
Patientswithobstructiveinflammationoftheolfactorycleftsalsohaveimpairedolfactoryfunction.This
syndromeis consideredas a new finding andisdiagnosedwhen clearinflammatory obstruction ofthe
olfactorycleftisdemonstratedonimagingwithoutanyradiologicalsignofopacifiedsinuses(Fig.9.7).
46
Theobstructioncorrespondstolocalinflammationofthemucosaltissuecoveringtheolfactorycleftand
may be secondary to a severe nasopharyngeal infection or to damage to the cleft region, leading to
squamous metaplasia or fibrosis, with negative consequences on olfactory function. Association with
hypertrophyofthemiddleturbinate(conchabullosa)andwithobviousanatomicalmalformationhasbeen
underlinedalso.This diagnosis is radiologicalandendoscopic. Endonasalendoscopy typicallydetects
bilateralandsymmetricalcongestionintheolfactorycleftwithnoextensiontothemoreinferiorpartof
the nasal fossa.Tentative treatment maybebased onoralcorticosteroidtreatment (whichis not really
helpfulforthevastmajorityofpatients)oronconchabullosareduction.

Conclusions
•Miscellaneouscausesofolfactorydysfunctionarenumerous,andtreatmentneedstobeadaptedtoeach
specificcase.Eliminatingthecausativetoxicantordrugseemsthelogicalwaytomanagepatientswith
toxicant-ordrug-inducedolfactorydysfunction.
• Endocrine-related disorders should receive appropriate treatment of the underlying disease, but
olfactoryrecoverymaynotensue.
• Idiopathic olfactory disorders should only be diagnosed if others causes have been ruled out. The
possibilityofdevelopingneurodegenerativediseaseshouldbeconsidered.
• Congenital olfactory disorders should be diagnosed by MRI techniquesfocusing on theOBandthe
olfactorysulcus,despitethefactthatnotreatmentexistsforthesepatients.
•Tumor-relatedolfactory dysfunctionis rare asa sole andprimarymanifestationofthe disease.MRI
evaluation and appropriate surgical removal (aiming to spare the olfactory apparatus without
jeopardizingtumorremoval)shouldbeproposed.
•Postsurgicalcomplicationsleadingtoolfactorydysfunctionmayhavemultipleorigins.
•Theprevalenceofthesemiscellaneouscausesofolfactorydysfunctionisverylow.Amalgamatingdata
fromdifferentcasesatdifferentsmellandtastecentersshouldaddvaluableinformationinthisarea.

10ChemosensoryFunctioninInfantsandChildren
DavidG.Laing,BenoistSchaal
It isnowestablishedthatchemosensoryfunctionsare behaviorallyandcognitivelysignificantinhuman
neonates,infants,andchildren.Thischapteraimstosummarizecurrentknowledgeonthedevelopmentof
nasalandoralchemoreception,andcorrespondingbehavioralfunctions.Further,itwilldiscussdifferent
methods available to assess olfactory and taste capabilities in children both qualitatively and
quantitatively.
DevelopmentofChemosensoryFunctionality
TheFetusandPrematurelyBornInfant
NasalChemoreception
Thestrongestevidenceforhumanprenatalolfactoryfunctioncomesfromstudiesonnewbornsinwhich
theodorofamnioticfluid,
1
orofflavorcompounds(e.g.,anise,alcohol,carrot)transferredintoit,induce
appetitive responses in the newborn.
2,3
 Thus, from late gestation, the human fetus is able to detect,
selectively encode, and retain some odor information in the womb. Near-term fetuses may be as
competentasneonates.Sarnat,
4
however,foundthattheproportionofprematurenewbornsdetectingmint
odor at birth (assessed by sucking or arousal responses) was related to gestational age. While most
infantsbornbetween29and36weeks’gestationresponded,lesspredictablereactionsarosebeforeweek
29.Aftergestationalweek32,infantsbornprematurelyrespondedtothemintodorequallytoinfantsborn
atterm.Near-infraredspectroscopyalsoshowedthatpreterminfantsaged33.7gestationalweeks(tested
12.5dayspost birth) evincedifferential cortical hemodynamic variationswhenexposedtotheodor of
colostrumor vanillaor totrigeminal stimuli carried indisinfectantsor detergents:after 10 secondsof
stimulation,anincreaseordecrease,respectively,wasnotedinoxygenatedhemoglobinovertheparietal
region.
5
OralChemoreception
Tastebudsofalltypesareevidentasearlyasgestationalweek10,andbytheendofgestationalmonth4
receptorcellsbecomeaccessibletopotentialstimulithroughopentastepores.Humanfetalresponsesto
sapidagentsinfusedinuteroremainequivocal,but functionaltastehasbeen establishedininfantsborn
preterm withingestationalmonths6to9. Sweet,bitter,oracidtastantselicitresponsesindicatingthat,
fromearlygestationalmonth6,tastebudsareconnectedwiththecentralsystemscontrollingbehavioral
andautonomic (salivation) responses. Sweet solutions lead to mouthing/sucking and positive hedonic
responses(sucking,calming,facialexpressionindicatingacceptance)inpreterminfants,whereasbitter,
acid,andsaltystimulitendtoinhibittheseresponsesordonotaffectthem(e.g.,ref.6).
TheNewborn*
NasalChemoreception
Whentestedwithin12hoursafterbirthandbeforeanypostnatalingestion,odorantschosentobepleasant
or unpleasant to adults (banana, vanilla, and milky odorants versus fishy and rotten odorants,
respectively)elicitedtypicalfacialresponses.
7
Whenphotographsoftheseresponseswereevaluatedby
an adult panel for their hedonic meaning, the odors considered pleasant induced expressions of
acceptance (relaxed face, rising mouth corners, licking, sucking), while unpleasant odors provoked
rejection expressions (lowering mouth corners, lip/tongue protrusion, gaping) (Fig. 10.1). As one
anencephalic newbornreactedwith similar facial expressions toodors as normal infants, an“innate”
brainstem mechanism controlling hedonic facial reactivity was proposed, andtermed the olfactofacial
reflex.
7
 However, it was later shown that prenatal experience with odorants can strongly bias such
neonatalresponses,
3
castingdoubtontheinnatenatureofthe“reflex”.
*Thehumanneonatalperiodisgenerallyconsideredasextendingfrombirthtothefirstmonth.

OralChemoreception
Taste stimuli are well discriminated by term-born newborns. Facial and oral movements expressing
acceptance(sucking,relaxedand“smiley”face,eyeopening,hand–mouthcontact)areelicitedbywater
solutions of sweet tastants (sucrose, lactose, or saccharin), or by monosodium glutamate (savory)
administeredinasoup.Incontrast,facial–oralresponsesexpressingavoidance(grimaces,crying,gaping,
eye closure) occur with acid and bitter tastants, while salty solutions remain hedonically ambiguous
during thefirstpostnatalmonths.
7
Reactivity measuredbycomparing differential ingestionfrom bottles
containingvarioustastesolutionsagainstareferencebottle(generallywater)providedlessconvincing
data,probablybecausethesuckingdriveover-ridestasteregulationofintakeatthisearlyage.Whilethe
acceptance for sweetsolutions remained, infants consumedsalt and bitter (urea) solutions as much as
water,suggestingindifferencetotheselattertastants,whilesourtastesweregenerallyrejected.

Tastecan
regulateinfants’activationstatesbyinhibitingcryingandfacilitatingcalmness.Theoraladministrationof
sucroseactivatesmouthing/licking/suckingmotions.Thissweetness–calminglinkappearstofadeoutafter
2monthsofage,however.

nasal chemosensation remainsscantybetween theagesof1 monthand3years. However,thereisnoa
priorireasonwhynasalchemosensationshouldnotfunctionwelloverthisperiod:
•Below3yearsofage,reactivitytoodorsisattestedbyinfants’selectiveresponsivenesstofoodsand
persons

;between 3 and 4 years, rare studies indicate good odor detection abilities; andbyage 5
children'sresponsesbecomeaccessibletomoresystematicpsychophysicaltesting(seepp.58–75).
• The best evidence for infants’ and children's olfactory responsiveness comes from studies on
preferencesandaversions,whichsuggesta generallygreatertolerancetounpleasantodorsbefore5
yearsofage,andconverginghedonicresponsesinchildrenandadults.
10
Earlystabilityincategorizing
odorsaspleasantorunpleasantoccurs,althoughconsiderableinterindividualdifferencesexistbecause
ofexposureandlearningeffects.
• Sensitivity to trigeminal agents in infants and children under 5 years of age has not been clearly
established.
• Puberty is a period of change in sensitivity and hedonic rating for certain odorant qualities in or
resembling body odors (e.g., steroids, musks); thus, boys become increasingly insensitive to
androstenonewithadvancingpuberty,whilegirlsbecomemoresensitivetoit.
11
However,thispubertal
variationinolfactorysensitivityandpreferencesdoesnotseemtoaffectfoododorants.
12
OralChemoreception
The sense of taste continues to mature until at least 8 years of age, and possibly into adolescence.
Measurement oftastedetectionthresholdsindicatethat 8-year-oldfemales,butnot males,havesimilar
detection thresholds to adults, and 6- to 10-year-olds require larger differences between the
concentrationsofatastanttoperceiveadifference.
13
Inaddition,8-year-olds cannotperceivetastesin
mixtures similarlytoadults,andfailtodetectbothtastesinsome two-componentmixtures.Adultsand
children also differ in their taste preferences (e.g., higher levels of sourness are preferred by many
children of this age, while 9- to 15-year-olds prefer higher salt concentrations than adults). These
behavioraldifferencesare accompaniedbyanatomical changesin8-year-olds,withgreaternumbersof
fungiform papillae per unit area occurring on theanterior tonguethan inadults,whichis reflected in
highertastesensitivityinlocalizedareasofthetongue.Nevertheless,8-year-oldsandadultshavesimilar
responsefunctionsforsuprathresholdsweetstimuli.
ImportanceofChemoreceptioninInfancyandChildhood
TheRangeofOrganismicResponsesInfluencedbyChemosensation
Ingeneral,responseselicitedbyodorants,tastants,orirritantsappeardichotomous,withoppositetrends
inarousalandrelatedattention,directionalactions,informationintake(sniffingandlingualactions),and
lastlypreferentialchoicesandingestion.
Arousal
Odorsandtastescanmarkedlyaffect aninfant'sactivationstate.Thus,between2and10 daysof age,
upsetinfantsbecomelessagitatedwhenexposedtothebreastodorofalactatingmother,whichcanalso
counteractthehyperarousalelicitedbyacutepain.Attenuationofagitationisevenmorepronouncedwhen
theodorsoriginatefromtheinfant'sownmother.

DirectionalResponses
Head orientation is a much used index of olfactory discrimination in infants. A two-choice test was
developedthatrecordedsupinenewborns’head-turningresponsestotwoodorstimuli,hanging oneach
sideoftheirfaces.
14
Itdemonstratedthat6-day-oldinfantsspentmoretimeturnedtowardtheirmother's
breastodorratherthantoanothermother'sbreastodor.Infantswerelatershowntoorientmoreinsistently
totheodorofmilkfromanunfamiliarwomanratherthantowardanunfamiliarodorofsimilarintensity.
9
Odorscanalsomotivateinfantstocrawltowardadistantodorsource.
StimulusSamplingResponses
Volitional sniffing remains poor in infants below 2 years of age, but their respiratory pattern is
nevertheless affectedby thehedonic nature ofanodor.For example, newborns show accelerated and
decreased respiratory rates, respectively, to vanilla and butyric acid.
15
 Maternal odor of very low
intensity canalsoelicitspecificpatternsofrespiration in newborns.
16
Thus, infantstendtoadjust their
nasal airflow depending on whether it carries a pleasant/familiar or unpleasant/unfamiliar odorant.
Maternalodorsalsostimulateoral(chewing)andlingual(licking,sucking)motionsthatfavorstimulation
bytaste.Four-day-oldsdisplayincreasedoralresponsestotheodoroftheirmother'smilkthantheodor
ofanothermother'smilk,orwhentheyperceivetheiramnioticfluidodor.Oralmovementsdo,therefore,
express an individual's motivation to grasp the offered stimulus orally. In addition to the effects of
odorants administered orthonasally, infants detect retronasal odorants during feeds,andmodulatetheir
ingestivedecisionsaccordingly.
17
PhysiologicalInteractions
Odorantsandtastantsaffectvariousresponsescontrolledbytheautonomicnervoussystem(i.e.,heartand
respirationrates,endocrinerelease).
15
Conversely, themetabolicstateinfluencesinfantile responsesto
odors. When 3-day-old, bottle-fed infants are exposed to the odor of their usual formula milk1 hour
beforeand1hourafterafeed,theyrespondmorenegativelytoitduringthepost-prandialthanduringthe
preprandial stage.
18
Thisfluctuationinhedonicresponsivenessofinfantsresembles thephenomenon of
negativealliesthesia*describedinadults,andisanimportantfactorofvariationtoconsiderinthetesting
ofolfactoryortasteabilities.
EverydayAdaptiveFunctionsofOlfactionandTaste
The processes that have been most investigated are perceptual (i.e., detection, discrimination,
recognition), affective (i.e., preferences, mood, attitudes), and cognitive (i.e., attention, learning,
categorization,memory,semantics,lexicalization)innature.Withsomeobviousconceptualorlinguistic
limitations as a function of age, these processes are competent from earliest development to help
individuals to make sense of the world. Infantile chemosensory abilities are fine-tuned by sensory
experience received in the womb or in contact with the mother, and in confrontation with the ever-
expanding variety in food and environment. Infants can sense flavors associated with milk and the
