#olfactory perception
- Allotriosmia — A qualitative olfactory perception disorder characterized by the perversion, distortion, or erroneous and aberrant interpretation of odors; a condition where the patient perceives completely different, strange, or unpleasant smells (for instance, burnt, putrid, or chemical odors) in the presence of normal or familiar olfactory stimuli. This structural neurological phenomenon is clinically associated with parosmia or cacosmia, caused by dysfunctions of the nasal mucosa, olfactory nerve, or temporal lobe.
