Characteristics of subjective olfactory dysfunction and imaging features in patients with traumatic olfactory disorders: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Olfactory dysfunction caused by head trauma poses significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The primary difficulty arises from direct injuries to olfactory-related brain tissues. Although imaging provides the most direct method to evaluate such injuries, there is no standardized international diagnostic criterion for olfactory dysfunction based on imaging. We designed this study to compare the subjective olfactory function differences and brain gray-matter (GM) and white-matter (WM) volume differences between patients with traumatic olfactory dysfunction and those with other types of olfactory dysfunction and to determine the characteristics of subjective olfactory dysfunction and imaging features in patients with traumatic olfactory disorders. The find
