Abstract

Congenital anosmia is well described in conjunction with various sexual and other developmental abnormalities and has been reported to run in families. Congenital anosmia occurring as an isolated defect in a single family member is extremely rare, and tends to present late. We describe a case of a five year old girl with congenital anosmia and we outline the investigations which should be undertaken in such cases.
