| Popis: | The methods of examination for dysosmia were reported. One thousand four hundred cases of dysosmia were treated in the last 5 years by the following examinations 1) Olfactory acuity (detected and recognized) threshold test using T & T olfactometer. 2) Blast injection method using an applicator permeated with Alimanin solution. 3) Intravenous olfaction test using Alinamin solution. 4) Endoscopic observation of olfactory mucosa using an endoscope. The parts of lesions were diagnosed and various treatments were selected based on the results of these examinations. Nose drops of adrenocortical hormone were mainly used, while medications of peripheral vasodilator or medications for reducing of the mucosa were used in some cases. Many cases were effectively improved by the nose drops of adrenocortical hormone in Japanese patients. More than 70% of total cases were improved by these treatments. |
