Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: We present a case of congenital anosmia in a 23-year-old man. He was unable to sense smell since birth. He showed scale-out results on T&T olfactogram. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detected absence of the olfactory bulbs, tracts, and hypoplasia of the olfactory sulci. MRI findings were useful for diagnosing and confirming congenital anosmia. Keywords: Congenital anosmia, Magnetic resonance imaging, Olfactory bulb, Olfactory sulcus
