Abstract
Aims: In the recent years, the olfactory system gained more attention because of its unique characteristics of continuous regeneration and neurogenesis in adults. This is necessary for maintaining an intact olfactory function throughout life. Nevertheless, several diseases with olfactory dysfunction have been identified. Especially head trauma has shown to be linked to olfactory impairment. This is of interest because it is believed that measurement of olfactory function after head trauma represents a sensitive tool for measuring frontal brain damage. Most of the studies regarding this topic were conducted in adults. The aim of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the effect of mild head trauma in children on olfactory function over a time period of up to 1 year after head trauma.
