title: [Diagnostic orientation and radiological assessment of anosmia].
abstract: The olfactory system is made up of the olfactory epithelium, bulbs and tracts, together with olfactory areas in the brain. Anosmia may results from benign and malignant nasal sinus lesions, but also from lesions involving the CNS structures involved in olfaction. The purpose of this article is to review the different diagnose of anosmia and their CT or MR imaging characteristics.
