Sinus Headache

Problems

  • A common diagnosis given to the patient with facial pressure or pain - Over-diagnosed and over-treated - Common chief complaint in Otolaryngology - Can lead to unnecessary surgical intervention

Facial Pain of Rhinogenic Origin Classification

Facial Pain of Rhinogenic Origin Classification

  • Rhinosinusitis
    • Inflammatory
    • Barosinusitis
      • Changes in atmospheric pressure (flying, scuba)
      • Can it occur in normal stable atmospheric pressure?
  • Contact point (?)
  • Neurogenic
    • Postop
    • Anterior ethmoid nerve syndrome

Rhinogenic Pain My Rules of Thumb

Rhinogenic Pain My Rules of Thumb

  • Pain attributable to sinus disease should correlate with the presence and location of the disease.
  • Suspicion for other causes of facial pain should be sought if: - The pain is out of proportion to the degree of disease - The location of the pain does not correlate to the location of the disease - Pain is intermittent - Pain is brought on by weather changes, allergy, temperature changes, foods, stresss - The sinuses are normal on CT scan

What about the patient with “SINUS HEADACHE” and a normal CT scan? i.e. no inflammatory sinusitis

Does this represent a rhinogenic source or migraine headache?
