Abstract

Smell loss associated with nasal sinus disease can be a frustrating condition for patients and their physicians. A better understanding of the causes and pathophysiology of olfactory dysfunction can provide a framework from which the physician can plan appropriate treatment and counsel patients as to probable outcomes. This article reviews the pathophysiology of smell loss and the diagnostic paradigms and treatment approaches for the more common causes of anosmia.
