Abstract:
Facial pain and headaches are heterogeneous, therefore, a differential diagnosis, interdisciplinary survey and mapping of the pain symptoms are essential for determination of treatment concepts. This requires an otorhinolaryngology (ENT) adapted zoning of the various pains in the head and neck in line with the classification of the International Headache Society (IHS). In this review, idiopathic, symptomatic and neuralgic facial pain and headaches will be differentiated and classified according to their location from the ENT medical point of view. This provides otolaryngologists with a simplified, targeted diagnosis and subsequent indication for therapy.
