Abstract
Head and facial pain of unknown origin may be caused by defective aeration of nose and sinus. The reason is a chronic irritation of the mucosa or direct contact between septum and conchal mucosa. A secondary reaction to the impaired breathing through the nose may be an irritation of the sinus without causing a full-grown sinusitis. Diagnosis and therapy are possible by rhinoscopy, sinumanometry and sinuscopy in one appointment.
