In inflammatory CRS, the cause of olfactory dysfunction is often multifactorial; nasal polyps are a physical barrier to odorant molecules reaching the olfactory epithelium, whereas oedematous mucosa also contributes to this ‘conductive’ problem. Motile cilia on the nasal epithelium may be impaired as a result of the disease process, as can the non-motile (primary) olfactory cilia on the specialised olfactory epithelium that are essential for initiation of the olfactory signalling cascade.
