1. Dysosmia

   Dysosmia is a disorder described as any qualitative alteration or distortion of the perception of smell. Qualitative alterations differ from quantitative alterations, which include anosmia and hyposmia. Dysosmia can be classified as either parosmia (also called troposmia) or phantosmia. Parosmia is a distortion in the perception of an odorant. Odorants smell different from what one remembers. Phantosmia is the perception of an odor when no odorant is present. The cause of dysosmia still remains a theory. It is typically considered a neurological disorder and clinical associations with the disorder have been made. Most cases are described as idiopathic and the main antecedents related to parosmia are URTIs, head trauma, and nasal and paranasal sinus disease. Dysosmia tends to go away on its own but there are options for treatment for patients that want immediate relief.

1. dysosmia

   Dysosmia is a condition characterized by a distortion or impairment in the sense of smell. It can involve experiencing changes in smell perception or having reduced or absent ability to detect odors. It is often caused by a variety of factors, such as aging, infections, nasal obstruction, or brain injury. It can also be a symptom associated with certain medical conditions like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Dysosmia can be classified into two types: parosmia (structural smell distortion) and phantosmia (smelling odors that are not present).

1. Dysosmia

   Dysosmia, also known as olfactory dysfunction, is the impairment of olfactory stimuli processing leading to an altered sense of smell. These dysfunctions can present in a variety of ways, such as the stimuli not activating the olfactory bulb, some odors being interpreted as other odors, or hallucinations of smells. These subsets are called anosmia, parosmia, and phantosmia respectively. Anosmia and hyposmia are more quantitative disabilities typified by degrees in which the odor is sensed. Parosmia and phantosmia are more qualitative disabilities that are denoted by the impromptu introduction of odors without the proper stimulus.
