Re: sense of smell

dear doctor, in the absence of any local nasa pathology one has to exclude other etiologies, as the patients with olfactory disturbence fall into one of three common groups.
1)after head injury
2)after viral infection and
3)poor odorent access-----this is because of local nasal pathologies.
other causes are though rare but Alzheimeers disease,Parkinsonism ,Huntingtons chorea,Shizophrenia ,alcoholism and most importantly Diabetes mallitus have been reported to impair sense of smell.
