Abstract:
With the development of society, the improvement of living standards and the advancement of research methods, olfactory function has been paid more and more attention. Therefore, higher requirements for the forensic identification of olfactory function have also been put forward. Standardization construction of forensic medical examination and identification of olfactory dysfunction is urgently needed. Based on a comprehensive review of olfactory function and forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction, this paper elaborates on problems related to the principles and timing of forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction, the requirements of identification of traumatic olfactory dysfunction, the subjective and objective methods of examination of olfactory function. Strict control of the above issues is an important mean of standardization of forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction.
