Abstract

Sinus pain or sinusal headache appear with infection, tumor or other reasons and it is expected to resolve with succesfull medical or surgical treatment of the primary reason. But in some patients with sinusal headache, there is not only of any inflamation in sinus cavities, but alsa any ampiric therapy being given tor vasculer or other reasons, would be useful. For this type of headache which is being thought to come into being from mucosal contacting areas or anatomic variations , it is necessary to fix the responsible pathology with tomographic and clinical examinations. in this study the patients suffering from chronic and persisting headache tor average two years and benefit partly from ampiric medications, being given tor any of vasculary reasons, have been reviewed with the lights of endoscopic and tomographic investigations. in 28 patients who had the basic complaint was headache, endoscopic sinus surgeries were done because of mucosal contacting areas and anatomic variations. After the operations the basic complaint disappeared entirely in 1 O patients( 38%) and improved partly at varing degrees in 14 patients ( 50%).
