In this work we present the preliminary results of a retrospective study on 45 cases of disordered sense of smell. Our approach is based on a diagnostic tripod--a thorough history (with a questionnaire for evaluation), clinical examination (nasal endoscopy), and imaging. The mean age of our patients was 42.6 years, and 60% were male. In the aetiological factors there was a predominance of naso-sinus disease (62.2%), especially inflammatory (polyposis of the nose and sinuses), while general causes (metabolic and drug-induced) accounted for 24.4%, and neurological causes a further 13.3% of cases. Treatment resulted in a favourable outcome (with partial or total recovery) in 71.1% of cases, and failed in 26.6%.
在这项工作中，我们展示了一项针对45例嗅觉障碍病例的回顾性研究的初步结果。我们的方法基于一个诊断三脚架——详尽的病史（通过问卷进行评估）、临床检查（鼻内窥镜检查）以及影像学检查。我们患者的平均年龄为42.6岁，60%为男性。在病因方面，鼻窦疾病占主导（62.2%），尤其是炎症性疾病（鼻和鼻窦息肉病），而一般病因（代谢和药物引起）占24.4%，神经病因占另外的13.3%。71.1%的病例治疗取得了良好效果（部分或完全恢复），26.6%的病例治疗失败。
