Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Neuropathology

Background:

Intracranial schwannomas typically originate from the eighth cranial nerve.
Anterior cranial fossa schwannomas are exceptionally rare, with limited reported cases.

Observation:

A 39-year-old woman presented with anosmia and frontal headache.
MRI revealed an extra-axial mass in the anterior cranial fossa with mixed cystic and solid components.
The tumor caused destruction of the anterior skull base and involved the olfactory bulb.

Findings:

Histopathological diagnosis confirmed a schwannoma.
The tumor capsule lacked neoplastic cells.
Complete tumor resection was achieved via a basal subfrontal approach.

Implications:
