[ENT considerations of head and facial pain (author's transl)]

To the otolaryngologist, there are multiple causes for head or facial pain: headaches due to ear diseases; idiopathic neuralgias; "referred otalgia" involving cranial nerves V, IX, X; temporomandibular joint dysfunction; rhinological pathologies, including post-traumatic trigeminal neuralgia; "facial sympathalgias"; the styloid process syndrome; and cervical spine problems. Less known causes of head and neck pain are stressed, and emphasis placed on their diagnosis and treatment.
