Olfactory and gustatory hallucinations are not often encountered in the acute care setting but may represent the subtle presenting features of a significant underlying disease process. We describe a patient whose most striking presenting symptoms were of olfactory and gustatory hallucinations and in whom the diagnosis and treatment of a new brain tumor and partial status epilepticus occurred entirely in the emergency department. The lesion was subsequently identified as glioblastoma multiforme involving the hippocampus and amygdala.
在急症护理环境中，嗅觉和味觉幻觉并不常见，但可能代表着潜在严重疾病过程的微妙表现特征。我们描述了一位患者，其最显著的表现症状是嗅觉和味觉幻觉，而新脑肿瘤和部分癫痫状态的诊断和治疗完全在急诊室进行。该病变随后被确定为多形性胶质母细胞瘤，涉及海马体和杏仁核。
