Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed as a pandemic and has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Multiple studies have implicated anosmia and ageusia as symptoms associated with COVID-19. In this case report we present the cases who suffer from phantosmia after COVID-19 infection. As the prevalence of the virus increases, the symptomatology profile continues to be updated. More studies are needed to better understand this disease.

Long-term Outcomes of PRP Injections for Post-viral Olfactory Loss: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Int Forum Allergy Rhinol

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have previously been shown to benefit coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced smell loss. It is unknown if that benefit is stable over time. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes at 1-year post-intervention.

Transient or persistent hypo-anosmia is common in SARS‑CoV‑2 infection but olfactory pathway late-term morphometric changes are still under investigation. We evaluated late olfactory bulb (OB) imaging changes and their correlates with the olfactory function in otherwise neurologically asymptomatic COVID-19 patients. Eighty-three subjects (mean-age 43 ± 14 yr; 54 females; time-interval infection/MRI: 129±68 d) were affected by asymptomatic to mild COVID-19 in 2020 and 25 healthy controls (mean-age 40 ± 13 yr; 9 females) underwent 3T-MRI and olfactory function evaluation through anamnestic questionnaire and Sniffin' Sticks.

Article Synopsis
- COVID infection can lead to Long COVID, which causes various long-term neurological and mental health issues, but the exact causes and range of symptoms are still unclear.
- A literature review from multiple databases highlights that many patients experience symptoms like loss of smell and increased fatigue, alongside significant anxiety and mood disorders.
- Neuropsychological and brain imaging studies indicate a link between the severity of symptoms and cognitive dysfunction, as well as observable changes in brain structure in Long COVID patients, calling for further research to understand the underlying mechanisms.

Purpose Of Review: COVID -19 associated olfactory dysfunction is widespread, yet effective treatment strategies remain unclear. This article aims to provide a comprehensive systematic review of therapeutic approaches and offers evidence-based recommendations for their clinical application.
Recent Findings: A living Cochrane review, with rigorous inclusion criteria, has so far included 2 studies with a low certainty of evidence.
Impact of Weight Loss on Olfaction in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.
Obes Surg
December 2024
School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan.
Purpose: Olfaction plays a vital role in regulating nutrition, avoiding potentially dangerous situations, and modulating behavior along with interpersonal relationships. Many common disorders can have a negative impact on olfaction; one of these is obesity. Bariatric surgery induces weight loss, and current evidence suggests that it can cause improvement in olfaction.
