Abstract

General & Internal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, General & Internal Primary Health Care Science & Technology
Taste and smell disorders have multiple causes. We describe a patient in whom atrial fibrillation and subsequent embolic stroke was discovered because of complaints of decreased smell and taste. These deficits ultimately improved after treatment of the atrial fibrillation along with anticoagulation medication for stroke prevention.
