“…Children with ADHD also show functional manifestations of sensory problems, particularly in sensory seeking, auditory filtering, and in sensitivity to tactile, auditory, visual, taste and olfactory stimuli [12] known to be involved in the neurobiology of ADHD [15,16]. Very few studies have investigated olfactory impairment in children with ADHD and results are not consistent.…”

SummaryIntroduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a persistent pattern of behavior, present in two or more settings that can negatively impact on social, academic or occupational functioning. Children with ADHD tend to have one or more sensory processing problems. Very few studies have investigated olfactory impairment in children with ADHD and results are not consistent.Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the olfactory functioning in group of children with ADHD compared with healthy children matched for age, gender and school achievement.Method: We have analyzed a group of 24 children with diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM-V, aged 7-14 years, as well as 26 healthy control subjects with no data of any behavioral or psychological problem. Assessment of the olfactory identification and discrimination was performed using the Sniffin'Stick test of nasal chemosensory performance.Results: There were no significant differences among two groups of participants in terms of age, gender and school achievement. The mean (SD) age of patients and healthy children was 11, 57 (2, 32) and 11, 95 (1, 77) respectively. Significant differences between the two groups were evident in the both domains of olfactory function. According to odor discrimination we found statistically significant difference between the ADHD and control group (p<0.05) and according to odor identification we found high statistical significant difference (p<0.001).Conclusion: Olfactory function in children with ADHD has been a topic of increasing interest. The results of our study suggest olfactory impairment in two different domains of olfactory functioning. We believe that dopaminergic dysregulation is one of underlying mechanism of this phenomenon. Future studies with large sample size could include all three domain of olfactory functions as well as other sensory processing problems in children with ADHD.

“…В подавляющем большинстве исследований обоняния у больных шизофренией говорится об уменьшении у них обонятельной чувствительности, которое авторы интерпретируют как генерализованный дефицит остроты обоняния, отражающий структурные аномалии в периферической обонятельной системе, или как нарушения регуляции внутриклеточных сигнальных путей цАМФ, изменение активности дофаминовых рецепторов [1,2,12].…”

“…Исследования остроты обоняния или пороговой чувствительности обнаружения больше фокусируются непосредственно на обработке обонятельной сенсорной информации, изолированной от других когнитивных аспектов идентификации запаха. Дефицит остроты обоняния, как считает ряд авторов, отражает ухудшение в периферическом отделе в противоположность центральному отделу обонятельной сенсорной системы [1,12].…”
