Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the olfactory bulb (OB) volume and olfactory sulcus (OS) depth in patients with chronic stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was designed as a case-control and retrospective study. OB volumes and OB depth of the patients with chronic stroke ( 6 months) were measured using a 1.5 tesla MRI machine (Philips MRI Systems, Achieva Release 3.2 Level 2013-10-21, Philips Medical) with a standard head coil. OB volumes and OS depth were measured by using fat suppressed T2 coronal images. The data of the stroke patients were compared to the healthy control subjects. RESULTS: The study included 45 (21 male/24 female) post-stroke patients with the mean age of 47.7±10.7 years and 45 (19 male/26 female) healthy control subjects with the mean age of 44.5±8.7 years. Right (34.8±10.1 vs. 44.0±7.4 mm^3) and left (34.9±10.0 vs. 49.1±6.2 mm^3) OB volumes were significantly lower in the stroke group than in the control group. Olfactory sulcus depth was similar between the groups on the right side (7.0±0.0 vs. 7.0±0.7 mm), however it was higher in the stroke group on the left side (7.1±0.9 vs. 6.7±0.6 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with chronic stroke seem to have decreased OB volumes compared to the healthy control.
