Coming soonA sinus headache is a secondary headache disorder arising from mucosal inflammation, congestion, and impaired drainage within the paranasal sinuses, formally classified under headaches attributed to acute or chronic rhinosinusitis.
It affects the head, facial, and upper respiratory structures, occurring in pediatric and adult populations experiencing infectious, allergic, or structural sinonasal disease.
Pathophysiologically, mucosal swelling and ostial obstruction generate pressure within the sinus cavities, which stimulates nociceptive branches of the trigeminal nerve.
Clinically, it presents as deep, aching facial pressure or periorbital pain that often worsens with forward bending and is accompanied by objective signs of rhinosinusitis, such as purulent nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, and fever.
