To register objectively olfactory defects and to assess them qualitatively and quantitatively, the authors propose to use olfactometric techniques reflecting olfactovegetative and olfactovestibular manifestations. Automatic pupillographic complex APK-OI provides speed, time and amplitude parameters of the pupillary and nyctating reflexes. 600 pupillograms and records of the nictation reflex proved high diagnostic significance of these methods. 104 stabilographic examinations (ST-02 unit) illustrated the changes in 12 vestibular parameters prior to and after olfactory impact. The results give grounds for application of olfactovestibular reactions registration as an objective olfactometric test.
