Abstract
In the practice of otorhinolaryngology, the diagnosis and treatment of olfactory disorders play an important role. In modern conditions, introducing new technologies, changes in the environment, the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to the emergence of features of the occurrence, prevention and treatment of this pathology. The article summarizes current information about the anatomy and physiology of the human olfactory analyzer, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of olfactory disorders. The features and difficulties in the work of otorhinolaryngologists and other specialists in helping patients with olfactory dysfunction are analyzed. The question of the possibilities of diagnosing and treating olfactory disorders in the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed. It is concluded that there is no convincing data on the pathogenesis of most olfactory disorders, and therefore the effectiveness of the correction of this pathology remains low, and this problem requires further study and solution.
