Loss of taste and smell is a rare symptom but can occure in some cases of brain tumours, particularly if the tumour affects specific areas of the brain responsible for these senses.  However, it is important to note that loss of taste and smell can also be caused by various other factors unrelated to brain tumours.

​

Loss of taste (ageusia) or smell (anosmia) may manifest gradually or suddenly, depending on the nature and the location of the tumour.  these changes in taste and smell might occur alongside other neurological symptoms related to the specific region of the brain affected by the tumour.

​

It is essential to understand that many other conditions, such as viral infections, head injuries, sinus issues or certain medications can also lead to loss of taste and smell.  Therefore, if someone experiences sudden loss of taste and smell without apparent cause, it is crucial to consult your medical professional to determine the underlying reason.
