(E) Antrocoanal polyps :
Hyposmia is caused by
• Nasal obstruction due to polyp, enlarged turbinates or edema of mucus membrane or allergic orvasomotor rhinitis.
• Atrophic rhinitis.
• Peripheral neuritis (toxic or influenzal).
• Injury to the olfactory pathway, intracranial lesions — abscess, tumour, meningitis.
• Coryza due to viral infection.
• CSF rhinorhoea is due to tear of dura over cribiform plate and paranasal sinues seen in anterior cranial fossa fracture can lead to anosmia/hyposmia.
