Rhinologic headache caused by mucosal contact with a surgical solution. A case report
Abstract Introduction and objective: Rhinologic headache caused by mucosal contact is a difficult definition condition with good response to surgical approach. Description: We present a case of a 31 year-old male with rhinologic headache criteria. We decided to offer a surgical approach, successfully. Discussion: Rhinologic headache is included in the group of “Headache caused by disorders of the nasal mucosa, turbinates or septum”. There is no agreement about its cause because the prevalence of mucosal nasal contact is similar in patients with and without facial pain. There is evidence in the resolution of facial pain with a surgical approach. Conclusions: Despite the evidence of success in the surgical approach, some doubts still persist about the causes of this entity.
