Abstract

Headaches of rhinogenic origin illustrate an interesting paradox. Little is known about their pathophysiology, mechanisms, and prevalence; yet, the concept that these headaches are of importance is widely accepted. This article discusses the relationship between fronto-turbinalis sinus expansion and headaches, as well as headache outcomes after surgical approach.
