Except for the extra 'e' in persons, it is grammatically correct and may be understood, but it is informal.

To those who seem to think there is no predicate:

Cases = subject
Exist = predicate
Of persons = prepositional phrase, modifies 'cases'
Who cannot smell anything = essential adjective clause, modifying 'persons'

Existing cases of people without the sense of smell.

Perhaps you could say "Cases exist of persons who lack the sense of smell" You misspelled "persons"

it is not a sentence--there is no verb (predicate).

there is meaning, though... perhaps you can rephrase as follows:

there are existing cases of persons (people) who cannot smell anything (lack the sense of smell).

better? :D

it's not a sentence as it lacks the predicate. it may be only a complex object. but 'exist' is not a noun, it's a verb so it doesn't go with cases and of-phrase, you'd better say 'instances of existance of persons devoid of smell perception function'

"persons," not "persones." If you want standard American English, try: "Some people lack the sense of smell."
