dc.description.abstractApproximately 95% to 99% of chemosensation is at-tributed to the sense of smell, whereas taste is responsible for the re-maining chemosensation. One who suffers from anosmia is unable to detect smells. In addition to being acquired or congenital, it can be ei-ther transitory or permanent. Disorders in olfaction can be brought on through pathologic conditions at any level through the olfactory path-way. These disturbances can occur at multiple levels. Conductive or sensorineural deficiencies are two categories that can be used to cate-gorize them. In diseases classed as conductive, also known as transport disorders, there is an interruption in transmitting an odorant stimulus to the olfactory neuroepithelium. Loss of sense of smell can be brought on by any mechanical obstruction that prevents scents from reaching the olfactory neurons. Several inflammatory processes can cause this ob-struction, including uncomplicated infections that result in mucus plugs or nasal polyps. Some neurological causes have the potential to cause the disease. The more central brain structures are affected by the pres-ence of sensorineural abnormalities. Tests of olfactory function have been created to give a valid measurement of olfactory dexterity. These smell tests examine the threshold of odor perception and odor identifi-cation. The butanol threshold test, the “University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT),” and the “Sniffin' Sticks” test are some of the tests included in this category. In this review, olfactory disorders are presented with a detailed literature survey. © 2024 Turkey Association of Society of Ear Nose Throat and Head Neck Surgery.
