title: [Contribution of corticosteroid treatment in neurosensorial anosomia: a series of 62 patients].
abstract: Systematic administration of corticosteroids was attempted in the treatment of olfactory loss in 41 patients with post-upper respiratory infection and 21 patients with idiopathic anosmia. In our study, anosmia failed to respond to this treatment, as no patient noted any improvement of olfaction.
