    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Clinical Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Olfactory disorders (dysosmia) present a diagnostic challenge due to numerous potential underlying causes.
    • A structured approach is needed to effectively evaluate patients with smell disturbances.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To schematize existing knowledge of olfactory disorders into a systematic history-taking method.
    • To aid clinicians in developing a differential diagnosis for dysosmia.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a systematic history approach based on literature review.
    • Identification of essential historical components associated with dysosmia.
    • Emphasis on adaptability for individual practitioner needs.

    Main Results:

    • A structured framework for eliciting key patient history details related to smell dysfunction.
    • The approach aims to streamline the diagnostic process for olfactory disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • The systematic history approach provides a practical tool for diagnosing smell disturbances.
    • This method can be updated and adapted to suit diverse clinical scenarios and practitioner preferences.
