To evaluate the type, location, severity of headache and their relation to various nasal and sinus related pathological conditions. All the patients presenting with acute and chronic sinus and nasal infections along with headache were included in the study. The diagnostic confirmation was done with clinical along with radiological and endoscopic evaluation. Various parameters categorized accordingly. Chronic rhinosinusitis/chronic recurrent rhinosinusitis are the most common nasal condition seen in oto-rhino-laryngology OPD which has enormous economic burden and significant morbidity on general population. The headache is the commonest associated symptom which is needed to be given attention. The location, variation, pattern of the headache can guide us towards the correct diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- * A case report details a patient who was initially misdiagnosed with a sinus headache and later with aseptic meningitis, only to be found post-mortem to have severe cryptococcal meningoencephalitis.
- * To improve diagnosis, cerebrospinal fluid tests like nuclear acid amplification (NAA) panels should include Cryptococcus, but these can yield false positives; hence, confirming with cryptococcal antigen tests is crucial for accurate meningitis diagnosis.

With headache being one of the most common chief complaints, it is essential for pain practitioners to interpret and differentiate a variety of headache characteristics to accurately diagnose and treat specific headache disorders. Certain misconceptions often lead to misdiagnosis. This article presents and discusses six myths about several common headache disorders (migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, cervicogenic headache, sinus headache, and occipital neuralgia) often encountered in clinical practice.

Purpose: Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (Endonasal approach) is commonly used to treat pituitary adenomas. The extent of dissection possibly changes the anatomy and the physiology of the nasal cavities and could give rise to post-operative morbidity and the quality of life (QoL). The purpose of this study was to investigate sinonasal morbidity and general QoL in patients who underwent surgery for treatment of pituitary adenoma, comparing Endonasal and endoscopic trans-septal transsphenoidal approach (Trans-septal approach).

Objective: To determine if simultaneous administration of acoustic vibration and oscillating expiratory pressure affects the severity of facial pain among patients with complaint of "sinus headache".
Methods: This is a prospective single-arm observational study performed at a tertiary care medical center. Subjects with complaint of sinus headache without evidence of chronic rhinosinusitis on exam or computed tomography participated in a clinical study applying simultaneous acoustic vibrations and positive expiratory pressure to the nasal cavity twice daily over 4 weeks.
