| Popis: |
Hypoplasia of the olfactory tracts and bulbs is a rare cause of anosmia in the paediatric population. In most cases it is usually due to an acquired cause and in only a few is it associated to chromosomal disorders (Kallman's syndrome, among others).A 10-year-old boy with no chromosomal disorders and a family history of anosmia, who visited because of isolated anosmia; a magnetic resonance scan revealed bilateral hypoplasia of the olfactory tracts and bulbs.Magnetic resonance imaging allows the anatomy of the olfactory tract to be studied in detail and this makes it a valuable tool in the diagnosis of structural abnormalities in cases of olfactory disorders and also in the planning of treatment. |
