Sense-of-smell disorders are a frequent occurrence at ORL clinics. The clinical exploration must include a thorough and comprehensive interview to discover the etiology. The clinical examination is easily performed using cold-light endoscopes, which can reveal anatomical or mucous membrane pathologies, even in far- situated anatomical parts. The access to olfactometric examinations is limited by the small number of health centers which have the proper equipment and trained staff. Guided by the initial interview and clinical exploration, the diagnosis of smell disorder can benefit from the conclusive and factual contribution of the CAT scan and MRI.
