Abstract

Objectives: It has been proposed that olfactory function disorders, such as parosmia or hyposmia, were associated with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS). In this study, we aimed to compare the olfactory function and its subtypes between MTLE-HS and healthy controls.
