Abstract

The interplay between head pain caused by sinus disease and primary headaches is complex. Classification of secondary headaches, attributed to disorders of the nose or paranasal sinuses has been recently updated. New treatments including office- based procedures are emerging for patients with chronic sinusitis. This paper briefly reviews sinus disease and headache.
