There are no reports for anosmia after caudal epidural steroid injections (CESIs). General anesthesia is among the reasons, but the reports up to date are extremely limited. There are no identifiable factors contributing to anosmia after epidural injection, so it is worth discussing. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with no previous history of any sensory deficits. She experienced ano...

Objectives This is a protocol for Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of interventions that have been used, or proposed, to prevent persisting olfactory dysfunction due COVID‐19 infection. A secondary objective maintain currency evidence, using living systematic review approach.

Whilst olfactory dysfunction has been reported in Korsakoff's Syndrome (KS) patients, the diagnostic implications of this have not been fully explored. KS can be difficult to diagnose because cognitive symptoms are similar to other diagnoses. For instance, patients with Frontal Lobe (FL) Syndrome may present with memory impairments that are similar to KS. Participants were given the Benton Visu...

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Patients with chemosensory dysfunction frequently report symptoms of depression. The current study aims to clarify whether the type (smell dysfunction, taste and mixed smell dysfunction), severity, duration, or cause have differential impacts on <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 899 patients disorders 62 controls were included. Fo...

This review summarizes neuroimaging findings in patients with olfactory dysfunction. Neuroimaging techniques offer a valuable means for evaluating and distinguishing disorders of olfaction. The new or refined techniques make it possible to pinpoint the anatomic and pathologic changes of many disorders of the sinonasal cavity and brain that cause olfactory deficits. From an anatomic point of vie...

BackgroundRespiratory tract viruses are the second most common cause of olfactory dysfunction. As we learn more about effects severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with recognition that dysfunction is a key symptom this disease process, there greater need than ever for evidence-based management postinfectious (PIOD).ObjectiveOur aim was to provide an practical guide PIOD...

OBJECTIVE Olfactory dysfunction is the most frequently seen non-motor symptom of Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). The aim of this study is to analyze selective olfactory dysfunction, and olfactory bulb volume (OBV) in subtypes of IPD, and compare them with those of the healthy controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our study included 41 patients with IPD and age and gender matched 19 healthy con...

Background and Objectives Olfactory gustatory dysfunctions have been known as characteristic symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the study clinical features olfactory in COVID-19 is still insufficient. Subjects Method Mild patients who complained or telephone monitoring from March 8 to April 8, 2020 were included this study. Patient information was collected using a Google...

OBJECTIVES One hypothesis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is that long-standing snoring vibrations and hypoxia of the nerves cause a local neuropathy in the upper airway during sleep. The aim of this study was to investigate olfactory function in subjects comprising snorers and untreated subjects with OSAS, and to correlate data with polysomnographic parameters. METHODS Sixty-nine ...

Olfactory impairment is a consistent premotor symptom in sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), presumably caused by pathological processes in the olfactory bulb and olfactory structures within mesolimbic brain areas. The objective of the present study was to obtain an in-depth insight into olfactory network dysfunction in PD patients. Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (3 T) was c...
