PY - 1 T2 - Practice of Neural Science: A Case-Based Approach AB - For several months, a 57-year-old woman has noticed that food seems to have less taste. She also has had intermittent midfrontal headaches. On examination, there is normal taste sensation to sugar, salt, vinegar, and quinine, but smell is absent to peppermint, lemon, and coffee. Except for mildly decreased corrected visual acuity on the left, the neurological examination is normal. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a 3-cm sharply demarcated mass occupying the olfactory grooves beneath the frontal lobe and strongly enhancing with gadolinium. A diagnosis of meningioma is confirmed at surgery; following total removal of the tumor, her visual acuity on the left returns to normal, but she remains anosmic.
