| Abstract |
|
Headache, facial pain and fullness are frequent symptoms noted in patients with acute and chronic sinusitis. However, if patients presenting with a sinus headache were to be classified according to the 2nd Edition of The International Headache Classification by The International Headache Society, most would not be diagnosed as having a headache that is secondary to rhinosinusitis. In this review article, the limitations of the classification system of The International Headache Society and the pathophysiology of a sinus headache are reviewed. The future role of the rhinologist is also suggested. |
