Abstract

Olfactory diseases are common to find in the population, mainly in older people, and it can affect significantly life quality. It can also be the first manifestation of neurological diseases, such as Parkinson disease. Despite its relevance, the sense of smell is still not studied although there are simple and validated methods available in the clinical practice. In this article, we make a review and analysis of the actual literature related to smell studies, so that we can establish available diagnosis tools in the clinical practice.
