ComplicationsofSurgeryandOlfactoryDysfunction
Evenifnasalandsinussurgeryhavetheprimarygoalofrestoringolfactoryfunction,somesurgical
proceduresmaybeassociatedwithadeteriorationinchemosensoryfunction.
Veryrarecasereportshavebeenpublishedwhereanolfactorydysfunctionoccurredduringthecourseof
surgerynotassociatedwitholfactorypathways.Avarietyofdrugsgivenduringasurgicalproceduremay
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.Olfactorydysfunctionis usually transient anda causal relationship between the
anestheticmedicationandthechemosensorydysfunctionisoftendifficulttoascertain.
34–36
After nasal surgery, olfactory function may be worse for several reasons: nasal packing; mucosal
edema;olfactory neuroepithelial lesions;or scar tissueformation. Althoughveryrareandtime-limited,
olfactorydysfunctionaftercommonnasalsurgery(e.g.,septoplasty,rhinoseptoplasty,turbinectomy,etc.)
hasbeenreportedwithvariableprevalence(Table9.4).

Aclassicalapproach totheanteriorcranialfossaforskull basetumorsis almostalwaysassociated
with permanent postoperative olfactory dysfunctionbecause olfactorystructures are an obstacle to the
approach. Alternative routes exist that better spare the olfactory apparatus, although these must not
jeopardizethe approachor thetumorremoval.

Olfactory dysfunctioncanalsobe present after trans-
sphenoidalhypophysectomy.

TheOlfactoryCleftSyndrome
Congestionoftheolfactorycleftwithoutinflammationoftheparanasalsinusesmayhaveanegative
impactonolfactoryfunctionandmayberelatedtotheso-calledolfactorycleftsyndrome.
Patientswithobstructiveinflammationoftheolfactorycleftsalsohaveimpairedolfactoryfunction.This
syndromeis consideredas a new finding andisdiagnosedwhen clearinflammatory obstruction ofthe

olfactorycleftisdemonstratedonimagingwithoutanyradiologicalsignofopacifiedsinuses(Fig.9.7).
46
Theobstructioncorrespondstolocalinflammationofthemucosaltissuecoveringtheolfactorycleftand
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
hypertrophyofthemiddleturbinate(conchabullosa)andwithobviousanatomicalmalformationhasbeen
underlinedalso.This diagnosis is radiologicalandendoscopic. Endonasalendoscopy typicallydetects

Whenphotographsoftheseresponseswereevaluatedby
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 newbornreactedwith similar facial expressions toodors as normal infants, an“innate”
brainstem mechanism controlling hedonic facial reactivity was proposed, andtermed the olfactofacial
reflex.

However, it was later shown that prenatal experience with odorants can strongly bias such
neonatalresponses,

InfantsandChildren
NasalChemoreception
Owing todifficulties in complianceandindesigning tests forpreverbal children,our understandingof
nasal chemosensation remainsscantybetween theagesof1 monthand3years. However,thereisnoa

;between 3 and 4 years, rare studies indicate good odor detection abilities; andbyage 5

• The best evidence for infants’ and children's olfactory responsiveness comes from studies on

ofexposureandlearningeffects.
• 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
androstenonewithadvancingpuberty,whilegirlsbecomemoresensitivetoit.
11
However,thispubertal

OralChemoreception
The sense of taste continues to mature until at least 8 years of age, and possibly into adolescence.
Measurement oftastedetectionthresholdsindicatethat 8-year-oldfemales,butnot males,havesimilar
detection thresholds to adults, and 6- to 10-year-olds require larger differences between the
concentrationsofatastanttoperceiveadifference.
13
Inaddition,8-year-olds cannotperceivetastesin
mixtures similarlytoadults,andfailtodetectbothtastesinsome two-componentmixtures.Adultsand
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
behavioraldifferencesare accompaniedbyanatomical changesin8-year-olds,withgreaternumbersof
fungiform papillae per unit area occurring on theanterior tonguethan inadults,whichis reflected in

StimulusSamplingResponses
Volitional sniffing remains poor in infants below 2 years of age, but their respiratory pattern is
nevertheless affectedby thehedonic nature ofanodor.For example, newborns show accelerated and
decreased respiratory rates, respectively, to vanilla and butyric acid.
15
Maternal odor of very low
intensity canalsoelicitspecificpatternsofrespiration in newborns.
16
Thus, infantstendtoadjust their
nasal airflow depending on whether it carries a pleasant/familiar or unpleasant/unfamiliar odorant.

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,andmodulatetheir

EverydayAdaptiveFunctionsofOlfactionandTaste
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)innature.Withsomeobviousconceptualorlinguistic
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
