The phenomenon of vivid flashbacks elicited by olfactory stimuli is described in two combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although many sensory and cognitive cues can elicit flashback phenomena, smell has distinctive characteristics that make evocation of vivid olfactory memories particularly likely. It is recommended that clinicians inquire specifically about olfactory precipitants when evaluating combat veterans disabled by PTSD flashbacks.
两名患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的退伍军人描述了由嗅觉刺激引发的生动闪回现象。尽管许多感官和认知线索都能引发闪回现象，但嗅觉具有独特的特征，这使得唤起生动的嗅觉记忆尤为可能。建议临床医生在评估因PTSD闪回而致残的退伍军人时，特别询问嗅觉促发因素。
