Diagnosis of isolated congenital anosmia using simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging and olfactory event‐related potentials: Our experience in six patients

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Diagnosis of isolated congenital anosmia using simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging and olfactory event‐related potentials: Our experience in six patients Via Clinical Otolaryngology Abstract ‐ Primary anosmia is usually associated with Kallmann syndrome, which is characterized by hormonal abnormalities such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. ‐ On very rare occasions, a primary anosmia presents as olfactory bulb agenesis without this associated syndrome. ‐ In previous studies of such cases, diagnosis is usually based on the absence of an olfactory bulb on structural MRI, rather than on objective functional measures. ‐ Simultaneous functional MRI and olfactory event‐related potential recordings can provide highly objective evidence of olfactory function. ‐ We examined both structural and functional MRI and olfactory event‐related potential data to diagnose primary anosmia with isolated olfactory bulb agenesis, gaining objective evidence of olfactory function.
