Abstract

• Headache is a common symptom in patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis.

• The diagnosis of primary and secondary headache disorders is important to avoid unnecessary revision surgery.

• Headache symptoms attributable to persistent or recurrent rhinologic disease may be addressed surgically if medical therapy has failed.

• Headache symptoms secondary to rhinologic disease have shown significant improvement following endoscopic sinus surgery.
