In the apparent absence of anatomical changes on MRI and to assess a putative loss of neuronal function in anosmia of Covid-19, we performed 18 FDG PET/CT scan in a patient with isolated anosmia under neutral olfactory condition, which revealed hypoactivity of the left orbitofrontal cortex, thus suggesting a probable neuroinvasive mechanism for anosmia of Covid-19 8 . MRI evaluation of the olfactory clefts in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection revealed an unexpected mechanism for olfactory function loss. Non-neural expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes in the olfactory epithelium suggests mechanisms underlying anosmia in COVID-19 patients. Non-neural expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes in the olfactory epithelium suggests mechanisms underlying anosmia in COVID-19 patients.	./cache/cord-270743-yyl50z94.txt	./txt/cord-270743-yyl50z94.txt
