Olfactory dysfunction in narcolepsy with and without cataplexy

Abstract

We investigated if hyposmia is specific to narcolepsy with cataplexy or if narcolepsy without cataplexy is also associated with olfactory dysfunction. Our results show for the first time that narcolepsy without cataplexy is associated with olfactory dysfunction
