Author obtained the following results by the experiment of the olfactory discrimination. to 40 cases of respiratory dysosmia patients (10-chronic maxillary sinusitis, 10-septal deviation, 10-chronic rhinitis and 10-nasal polyps), using a T and T type olfactometer. 1) Detection threshold of chronic maxillary sinusitis were predominated at the concentration unit I of standard odor in 6-phenyl ethyl alcohol (A), unit 3 in methyl cyclopenten-olone(B),unit 3 in isovaleric acid(C),unit 3 in T-undecalactone (D)and unit 3 in scotal(h). Recognition threshold were predominated at. the concentration unit 3 in A, unit 2 in B, C and D and unit 1 ,in E.. Oefactor.y discrimination of chronic maxillary sinusitis is belong to low grade olfactory disturbance as the average is proved, to 2.2. 2) Detection threshold of the septal deviation were. predominated at the concentration unit 1 of standard odor in A, unit 2 in B, unit 0 in C, D and E. Recognition threshold were predominated at the concentration A unit 2 in A, B and C and unit 1 in D and E. Olfactary discrimination of septal deviation is belong to low grade olfactory disturbance as the average is proved to 1.6. 3) Detection threshold of the chronic rhinitis were predominated at the concentration unit 1. of the standard ,odor in A and B, unit 0 in C,D and E. Recognition threshold were predominated at the concentration unit. 3 in A, unit 2 in B and unit I in C, D and E. Olfactory discrimination of the chronic rhinitis belong to low grade olfactory disturbance: as the average is proved to 1. 6. 4) Detection threshold of the nasal polpy were predominated at the concentration unit 1 of standard odor in A,B, and C, unit 0. in D and E. Recognition threshold were predominated at the concentration unit 3 in A, B, C and D and unit 2 in E. Olfactory discrimination of the nasal polyp is belong to moderate grade olfactory disturbance as the average is proved to 2.8. 5) There are many difficult problems in clinical application of the olfactometry.
