Preoperative testing was performed within the first 72 hours after SAH. For their follow-up visit, patients were tested 3 months after surgery. Olfactory thresholds, odor discrimination, and odor identification were documented. Only cooperative patients were included, and as a result, all patients enrolled in the study were classified in Hunt and Hess Grade II.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>After SAH and before surgery, three patients were normosmic, seven were hyposmic, and three were anosmic according to the Sniffin' Sticks test. Thus, 10 of 13 patients with SAH already showed disturbance of ONF preoperatively. Of these 10, however, only two patients experienced reduced smell and taste sensation. At the 3-month follow-up review, 10 patients could be tested. Three normosmic patients remained normosmic. In one patient, ONF had improved from anosmic to hyposmic, whereas in another patient, ONF had worsened from hyposmic to anosmic. Thus, in eight patients, ONF remained unchanged after surgery. Three patients reported disturbed smell and\/or taste sensation. One anosmic patient had experienced no smell sensation since surgery; however, he reported his taste to be normal. Another hyposmic patient experienced both reduced smell and taste sensation. One normosmic patient reported normal smelling ability but disturbed taste sensation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study provides evidence that aneurysmal SAH causes disturbance of ONF in a substantial number of cases. With the exception of one case, neurosurgical treatment did not alter a preexisting olfactory deficit. Improvement of SAH-induced olfactory dysfunction at follow-up, however, can also be documented. The subjective assessments of the patients do not correspond well with the test battery results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns-07\/12\/1126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,13]],"date-time":"2007-12-13T18:51:54Z","timestamp":1197571914000},"page":"1126-1129","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Evaluation of olfactory nerve function after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and clip occlusion"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Joost","family":"de Vries","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomas","family":"Menovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koen","family":"Ingels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otolaryngology, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-1071126","series-title":"Laryngoscope","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"733","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200404000-00026","article-title":"Prevalence of olfactory dysfunction: the sk\u00f6vde population-based study","volume":"114","author":"Br\u00e4merson","year":"2004"},{"key":"b2-1071126","series-title":"Laryngoscope","first-page":"83","article-title":"Evaluation of olfactory dysfunction in the Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center","volume":"98","author":"Cain","year":"1988"},{"issue":"1 Suppl","key":"b3-1071126","series-title":"Neurosurgery","first-page":"17","article-title":"Microsurgical anatomic features of the olfactory nerve: relevance to olfaction preservation in the pterional approach","volume":"57","author":"Cardali","year":"2005"},{"key":"b4-1071126","series-title":"Folia Morphol (Warsz)","first-page":"455","article-title":"Arteries to the proximal part of the olfactory tract","volume":"63","author":"Ciolkowski","year":"2004"},{"key":"b5-1071126","series-title":"Adv Otorhinolaryngol","first-page":"99","article-title":"Posttraumatic olfactory loss","volume":"63","author":"Costanzo","year":"2006"},{"key":"b6-1071126","series-title":"Neurosurgery","first-page":"1142","article-title":"Olfaction preservation in anterior cranial base approaches: an anatomic study","volume":"48","author":"Dare","year":"2001"},{"key":"b7-1071126","series-title":"The Smell Identification Test.
