Firstly the review deals with the olfactometry after discussing the olfactory and trigeminal sensitivity of the sense of smell. The term olfactometry will be newly fixed concerning the present problems of odor analysis. Under clinical aspects the methods of subjective olfactometry are discussed and valued. Olfactory tests basing on registering several psychosomatic reflexes (e.g. cardial and/or respiratory frequencies) cannot be described as "objective". Rather methods are objective which record poststimulatory electrophysiological events at different steps of olfactory pathways. The electric response olfactometry representing a cortical evoked so-called twin-potential containing equivalents for trigeminal and olfactory sense activity starts to demonstrate its efficiency. At least a complete test of olfactory function today includes the rhinomanometry for recording ability in nasal odor transport capacity. In the second part are discussed the olfactory disorders with clinical importance. Air borne disorders are confronted with sensorineural, which again are divided in prebulbar, bulbar, and postbulbar ones so far as possible. Respiratory smell disorders depend on nasal ventilation and occur in nasal deformations, in abnormalities of respiratory pathways, in cases of foreign bodies, mucosal inflammations, tumors, intoxications and allergy. Sensorineural olfactory disorders can be attached to age, to malformations or idiopathic defects, inflammations of the olfactory-neural apparatus, head injuries, brain tumors, metabolic or endocrinological diseases. Furthermore often they are accompanied with neurological and psychiatric diseases or professional and chemical intoxications and/or iatrogenic influences. The poor therapeutical possibilities are demonstrated as far as possible. Finally the experting problems in olfactory disorders are delineated, at which the evidence of objective olfactometry can be distincted.
