Abstract

Taste disorders represent a group of alterations relatively frequent in clinical practice. They have a diverse etiology, and they can affect the gustatory pathway at different levels, clini- cally manifesting with quantitative/qualitative alterations on taste sensitivity. In most of cases it is possibly to achieve an etiologically diagnosis with appropriate anamnesis, physical exploration, and basic complementary tests. However, their pathogenesis is not well unders- tood, and they have limited therapeutic options, which determines a lack of well-validated diagnosis and treatment algorithms. The objective of this review is to provide and update and a practical approach to taste disorders.
