See neurologist: Temporal lobe seizures can present with olfactory hallucinations or auras. A tumor can cause this, as can a history of prior head injuries. Take a good notes of your symptoms and have an evaluation by a neurologist who might be able to make a preliminary diagnosis based on the description of the symptoms. The neurologist may then get an mri.
