Olfactory dysfunction, or dysosmia, is a problem with the sense of smell. Technically, it is a deviation from the normal sensing and perception of odor molecules, or olfactory stimuli processing
There are several different forms of dysosmia, including anosmia (stimuli do not activate the olfactory bulb), parosmia (some odors are interpreted as other odors), and phantosmia (hallucinations of smells that are not there).
