Symptom #6: Loss of Olfactory Sense
In cases when the tumor mass puts pressure on the cranial nerves, various signs and symptoms will develop. If the nerves that are responsible for olfactory response are affected, there will be a gradual loss of this sense as the tumor mass continues to grow. This symptom is often underestimated and not noticed until it becomes really weak.
After the tumor is treated surgically and the tumor mass is totally removed, a full resumption of sense of smell is possible.
