Central anosmia is a disease in which the patient cannot smell. This can be caused by various reasons such as infections, tumors, brain injuries and other diseases.
Central anosmia can have serious consequences for the patient's health, as the lack of sense of smell can lead to incorrect diagnosis of diseases and improper treatment. In addition, a lack of sense of smell can affect a patient's quality of life, especially if they are involved in activities that involve smell, such as cooking or perfumery.
To diagnose central anosmia, special equipment is used to determine which odors the patient cannot smell. Treatment for central anosmia depends on the cause of the disease. If the cause is an infection, then treatment with antibiotics is carried out. If the cause is in the brain, surgery may be required.
Overall, central anosmia is a serious condition that can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, it is important to promptly diagnose this disease and begin treatment.
Anosmia Central: causes and treatment
Anosmia is a disorder of the sense of smell. The person does not smell. Among the causes of this pathology are usually called lesions of the nose or changes in the olfactory receptors. Olfactory stimuli are perceived by olfactory receptors; there are about thirty of them in each half of the nose. They are located on the mucous membranes under the superior nasal concha, slightly along their edge, and also above the posterior end of the middle concha. With central anosmia, the brain center of the olfactory analyzer is affected by cerebrovascular accidents, encephalitis, brain tumors, and tuberculosis. It can occur in diseases caused by circulatory disorders in the superior cerebral artery. The patient stops smelling certain substances. This can cause difficulties in eating and socializing, as the person may not be able to detect nuances of food odors or spices that would be appropriate for cooking. As a result, the patient may need a more vivid description of the taste or may need to experiment with different recipes. Central anosgia can lead to serious problems with eating and communication due to the inability to detect the sensation of smell. If the sense of smell is not restored within a year of the problem's onset, it may be a sign of a more serious disorder called Raboin syndrome or Bloch-Schautenmeister-Maureiche disease, or caused by mononeuropathy (neuropathy) of the olfactory nerve. The cause of this disease is most often ischemia. Other possible causes include physical changes in the brain such as tumors, trauma, infections, aging and vascular disease. Central anosagia syndrome is a condition in which the body is unable to sense or recognize smells, which ultimately makes it impossible to enjoy food and drink. Central atrophy is a serious neurological disease that is characterized by the loss of any body function that was associated with the brain. This may include control of speech or movement, breathing, hearing and/or vision. Central symptoms of the disease appear when the brain is damaged or damaged. This diagnosis is often made when cells in the brain and other tissues begin to die or become unable to function normally. In addition, central atria may develop due to decreased or damaged blood vessels inside the brain (insufficient oxygen and nutrients), destruction of normal brain structure, or infection. If central atres are diagnosed, treatment options are often aimed at eliminating the cause. These changes can be caused by various factors, including severe bleeding, substances from environment, environment,
