Book excerpt: What one needs to know about “Distortion of Olfactory Perception”: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment etc. A comprehensive Review. The distortions are usually much more upsetting to a person's quality of life than a simple loss. An ipsilateral loss of olfactory sensitivity is often identified in the nostril with any type of olfactory distortion. The human sense of smell generally fails in one of three ways. · One is an intensity reduction resulting in decreased olfactory sensitivity (hyposmia or anosmia). · The other two are quality changes with a distortion of the perceived odor. One type of distortion occurs when inhaled odorants do not have the same `smell' or `odor' as remembered (troposmia, `to twist or turn the sense of smell'). The other type of distortion is the perception of an odor (usually unpleasant) when there is no odorant in the environment (phantosmia, hallucination). These distortions are usually much more disruptive to a person's life than a simple loss because they are repeatedly being reminded of the problem. Hence, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to present a comprehensive review of the current clinical understanding of ‘Olfactory distortions’, how they can be Evaluated and Therapies (i. e. Medical & Surgical) to treat this debilitating condition along with relevant ILLUSTRATIONS for better understanding. …Dr. H. K. Saboowala. M.B.(Bom) .M.R.S.H.(London)
