Frontal Headache Caused by Infection of Pneumatized Crista Galli
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Abstract:
We reported a case of infection of pneumatized crista galli presented with frontal headache having similar features suggestive of tension type headache. Although it may be an extremely rare cause of frontal headache, we reviewed reported literatures focusing on the frontal sinus pathologies affecting pneumatized crista galli. This case highlights that both the primary and secondary headache disorders may cause headache in the frontal region, and therefore need to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

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...
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,...
