Introduction:Post-traumatic dysgeusia with conversion of the taste of eggs rotten eggs has not heretofore been described.Method:Case Report: A 60 year old right handed female 6 months prior to presentation sustained head trauma. Three days later she noted reduced taste and smell dysgeusia to eggs. Eggs tasted distorted, like rotten eggs. Raw egg whites had no smell or taste. Cooked egg whites had faint sulfur smell for 2-3 seconds and the taste of sulfur. Yolk of soft-boiled eggs, had no smell or taste. The white had no smell but an unbearable sulfur taste. Raw eggs had no smell. The yolk of hardboiled eggs had no smell and taste, the whites smelled and tasted like sulfur. Sunny side up eggs with yolk and white segregated had no smell but tasted, as they should. Sunny side up eggs with yolk and white mixed together has no smell but strong sulfur taste. Scrambled eggs had no smell but mild sulfur taste, which changed over time to a rotten egg smell and taste. With nose clips, scrambled eggs had 0/10 taste, without the nose clips the smell of sulfur was 3/10.Results:Olfaction: Normosmia to threshold and Retronasal Smell Index: 2 (abnormal): Gustatation : Normogeusia to all. Mild hypogeusia to sodium chloride. MRI: Multiple foci of periventricular and deep white matter demyelization.Discussion:Rotten egg smell maybe mediated through retro-nasal pathways, since nasal obstruction eliminated the rotten egg taste. Eggs can possibly be developed as a home device to assess chemosensory function.

121 排卵障碍；头部外伤引起的化学感觉恶臭鸡蛋味觉障碍：但丁地狱的瘴气——当鸡蛋变烂时

简介：迄今尚未描述外伤后味觉障碍伴鸡蛋变味。方法：病例报告：一名 60 岁的右手女性在就诊前 6 个月遭受头部外伤。三天后，她注意到鸡蛋的味觉和嗅觉减退。鸡蛋尝起来扭曲，像臭鸡蛋。生蛋清没有气味或味道。煮熟的蛋清在2-3秒内有淡淡的硫磺味和硫磺味。水煮蛋的蛋黄，没有气味或味道。白色没有气味，但有一种难以忍受的硫磺味。生鸡蛋没有气味。煮熟的鸡蛋的蛋黄没有气味和味道，白色的气味和味道像硫磺。带有蛋黄和白色的阳光面朝上的鸡蛋没有气味，但味道很好，因为它们应该。将蛋黄和蛋白混合在一起的单面朝上的鸡蛋没有气味，但有强烈的硫磺味。炒鸡蛋没有气味，只有轻微的硫磺味，随着时间的推移变成了臭鸡蛋的气味和味道。用鼻夹，炒鸡蛋的味道是 0/10，没有鼻夹，硫磺的味道是 3/10。 结果：嗅觉：正常嗅觉到阈值和鼻后气味指数：2（异常）：味觉：正常嗅觉。对氯化钠有轻度的味觉减退。MRI：脑室周围和深部白质脱髓鞘多灶。讨论：臭鸡蛋味可能是通过鼻后通路介导的，因为鼻塞消除了臭鸡蛋味。鸡蛋可能被开发为一种评估化学感应功能的家用设备。用鼻夹，炒鸡蛋的味道是 0/10，没有鼻夹，硫磺的味道是 3/10。 结果：嗅觉：正常嗅觉到阈值和鼻后气味指数：2（异常）：味觉：正常嗅觉。对氯化钠有轻度的味觉减退。MRI：脑室周围和深部白质脱髓鞘多灶。讨论：臭鸡蛋味可能是通过鼻后通路介导的，因为鼻塞消除了臭鸡蛋味。鸡蛋可能被开发为一种评估化学感应功能的家用设备。用鼻夹，炒鸡蛋的味道是 0/10，没有鼻夹，硫磺的味道是 3/10。 结果：嗅觉：正常嗅觉到阈值和鼻后气味指数：2（异常）：味觉：正常嗅觉。对氯化钠有轻度的味觉减退。MRI：脑室周围和深部白质脱髓鞘多灶。讨论：臭鸡蛋味可能是通过鼻后通路介导的，因为鼻塞消除了臭鸡蛋味。鸡蛋可能被开发为一种评估化学感应功能的家用设备。讨论：臭鸡蛋味可能通过鼻后通路介导，因为鼻塞消除了臭鸡蛋味。鸡蛋可能被开发为一种评估化学感应功能的家用设备。讨论：臭鸡蛋味可能通过鼻后通路介导，因为鼻塞消除了臭鸡蛋味。鸡蛋可能被开发为一种评估化学感应功能的家用设备。
