Examples of anosmia in the following topics:
-
- Failure to detect odors (anosmia) is one reason that older individuals may not enjoy eating, since an inability to smell is related to an inability to taste (ageusia).
- Anosmia, a lack of functioning olfaction (inability to perceive odors), may be temporary, but traumatic anosmia can be permanent.
- Anosmia is due to an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages, or a destruction of one temporal lobe.
- A common cause of anosmia is old age.
- It is sometimes confused with anosmia, a loss of the sense of smell.
-
- During this stage, occurring approximately 3–7 days post-infection, the typical symptoms are parosmia, rapidly progressing to anosmia (with resultant ageusia) as the nerve cells of the olfactory bulbs are consumed and replaced with necrotic lesions.
