为探讨闭合性脑损伤对嗅觉识别的影响，我们对52例无嗅觉丧失证据的闭合性脑损伤患者进行了嗅觉命名和强迫选择识别测试。嗅觉鉴定试验包括对熟悉的无刺激性气味的“刮擦和嗅闻”标签。与年龄相仿的正常对照组（n = 19）相比，嗅觉命名和识别受损的CHI系列，特别是在中度或重度脑损伤患者。额叶/颞区血肿或挫伤的存在也与嗅觉识别受损有关。我们认为，非导弹头部损伤可以产生至少部分的嗅觉识别障碍，尽管相对保存的嗅觉检测。
To investigate the effects of closed head injury (CHI) on olfactory identification, we administered a test of olfactory naming and forced choice recognition to 52 CHI patients who had no evidence of anosmia. The Olfactory Identification Test consisted of ‘scratch and sniff’ labels of familiar nonirritant odorants. In comparison with a normal control group (n = 19) of similar age, olfactory naming and recognition were impaired in the CHI series, particularly in patients with moderate or severe head injury. The presence of a haematoma or contusion in the frontal/temporal region was also related to impaired olfactory recognition. We suggest that nonmissile head injury can produce at least a partial impairment of olfactory recognition despite relatively preserved olfactory detection.
