Abstract

Evaluation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity in patients with headache and or facial pain must include a thorough medical and social history, with close attention to the pattern and character of the pain, a thorough physical examination that includes a palpation and nasal endoscopy, and imaging studies such as CT scans and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The physician must remember that every pain in the face is not caused by sinusitis.
