Abstract

Olfactory nerves damage may develop post-traumatic. Reporting of the olfactory nerve damage is very hard because it can be simulated and regenerated. In the case presented, the skull fracture occurred after traffic accident and the person became anosmia. 6 years later it was found out that his anosmia continued. It is thought to be associated with trauma because laboratory tests were normal and the cranial bone fracture has occurred after the traffic accident. This case was evaluated for disability account. We focused on healing time, the relationship between trauma and the olfactory nerve damage and the tests that detect the olfactory nerve damage.

Özet

Travma sonrası olfaktör sinir hasarı gelişebilmektedir. Olfaktör sinir hasarının raporlandırılması simülasyona açık ve yenilenme özelliği olması sebebiyle oldukça güçtür.Bu olguda trafik kazası sonrası kafa kemikleri kırığı meydana gelmiş ve şahıs anosmik kalmıştır. 6 yıl sonra muayenesinde anosmisinin devam ettiği tespit edilmiştir. Laboratuar testlerinin normal olması ve olay sonrası kranial kemik kırklarının meydana gelmiş olması sebebiyle kaza ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmüştür. Olgu maluliyet hesabı açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Olfaktör sinir hasarının iyileşme süresi, travma ile ilişkisi ve olfaktör sinir hasarını tespit eden testler üzerinde durulmuştur.
