Abstract:
Frontal headache is a common complaint associated with frontal sinus disease and is often the only complaint. It is also a common location for headache pain in association with other primary and secondary headache disorders. Therefore, the clinician needs to have a thorough understanding of the differential diagnosis of frontal headache pain. This article reviews the causes of frontal pain in association with nasal and sinus pathology and also discusses other headache disorders that can present with similar symptoms.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
