A 57 year old woman with no previous history of any sensory deficits developed anosmia and hypogeusia after general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with complete recovery over 6 months. There were no other identifiable factors that may have contributed to her anosmia and hypogeusia after general anesthesia. As anosmia and hypogeusia related to anesthesia and surgery are not frequently reported, the incidence of these events related to anesthesia may be higher than expected.
一位 57 岁女性，既往无任何感觉缺失病史，在全麻下行腹腔镜胆囊切除术（laparoscopic cholecystectomy）后出现嗅觉丧失（anosmia）和味觉减退（hypogeusia），6 个月后完全恢复。全麻后出现嗅觉丧失和味觉减退无其他可识别的因素。由于与麻醉和手术相关的嗅觉丧失和味觉减退并不常见报道，这些与麻醉相关事件的发生率可能高于预期。
