Anosmia (/Ã¦nËÉzmiÉ/) is the inability to perceive odor or a lack of functioning olfactionâthe loss of the sense of smell. Anosmia may be temporary, but some anosmia (including traumatic anosmia) can be permanent. Anosmia is due to a number of factors, including an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. Inflammation is due to chronic mucosa changes in the paranasal sinus lining and the middle and superior turbinates.
Hyperosmia is increased olfactory acuity, and hypoosmia is diminished olfactory acuity. Anosmia, the inability to recognize odors, may be unilateral or bilateral. Dysosmia is an abnormal sense of smell.
