Facial pain, often mistaken for sinus issues, can rarely stem from cardiac problems. Prompt diagnosis and coronary stenting effectively treated one patient

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Pain Medicine

Background:

  • Facial pain is a common symptom with diverse etiologies.
  • Cardiac-related facial pain, such as angina, is infrequently documented in medical literature.
  • Differentiating cardiac facial pain from other causes like sinus or dental pain is clinically challenging.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with persistent facial pain initially suspected to be of sinus origin.
  • Standard treatments for sinus-related pain did not alleviate the patient's symptoms.
  • The patient's medical history included risk factors for coronary artery disease.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic investigations revealed underlying coronary artery disease as the cause of the facial pain.
  • Coronary artery stenting was performed to address the cardiac issue.

  • Following the stenting procedure, the patient experienced complete resolution of facial pain.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac origins in atypical facial pain presentations.
    • Early recognition and intervention for cardiac causes of facial pain can prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.
    • Coronary stenting may be an effective treatment for facial pain secondary to cardiac ischemia.
