"In addition to anosmia, there is also hyposmia, a.k.a. microsmia or olfactory hypoaesthesia, representing a diminished sense of smell and parosmia, a.k.a. dysosmia or paraosmia, referring to any pathology of the olfactory system 1,5. Phantosmia is the experience of a smell being present without an actual stimulus, i.e. an olfactory hallucination 5. For completion, normosmia is the state of having normal olfactory function."

"It is increasingly clear that this anatomical approach to the aetiology of olfactory dysfunction is limited, and ultimately unhelpful, as underlying diseases, e.g. chronic rhinosinusitis, may cause loss of smell via both obstructive and neural mechanisms 5."
