[Headaches and sinusitis: (author's transl)]

There is a frequent coincidence of headache and sinusitis. In acute sinusitis, the localization of the headache can yield good diagnostic clues, while chronic inflammations do not offer reliable diagnostic indications. Further characteristics of rhinogenous headache are: typical periodicity during the day, occasional disturbances of sensitivity in a specific cutaneous area and certain typical pressure points in the facial region.
