We analyzed and discussed 39 cases of combined disorders of taste and smell.<BR>As to causes concerning this condition, the majority 17 cases were due to obvious decrease or boundary level of serum zinc. This was the only cause or the main cause combined other causes. Other causes were the common cold, brain disorders, i. e. head trauma, drugs and idiopathy. Their incidences of occurrences were about the same in number.<BR>Effectiveness of therapy was seen generally in gustatory disorders more than in olfactory disorders.<BR>It was found that the earlier the therapy was started, the better were the results. Good effects were seen in cases where therapy was started within a month in the cases of olfactory disorders and within five months in cases of gustatory disorders.<BR>In idiopathic combined disorder, or in cases of serum zinc deficiency and a probable olfactory mucous membrane disorder, good effects were obtained using combination therapy, peroral zinc use and nasal drop administration of steroid.<BR>Good therapy effects were not obtained in anosmia in cases of combined disorders of taste and smell after head trauma.<BR>However, ageusia in the same cases showed favorable effects with oral zinc administration when there was secondary alteration in zinc metabolism.<BR>Taking into account these above conditions and recent studies of central passways, a discussion concerning injured portion of combined gustatory and olfactory abnormalities after head trauma is mentioned.
