abstract=" Purpose : The  aim of  this article is to provide a  summary of  findings concerning the  olfactory loss associated with pathological neuro¬ degenerative changes which occur in the  course of  Parkinson’s disease.   Views : Olfactory function deficits occur in the  early, prodromal stage of  Parkinson’s disease and their severity is much higher, especially compared with other neurodegenerative diseases. Information on characteristics of  olfactory loss in Parkinson’s disease is presented in the  article.    Conclusions : Authors indicate that olfactory function assessment is useful in differential diagnosis of  neurodegenerative disorders in their prodromal stage and physiological aging. Olfactory ability evaluation may be also very helpful in differential diagnosis of  parkinsonism syndromes. Severity of  the  olfactory impairment may be a  good predictor of  neuropsychiatric complications development in Parkinson’s disease.",
