“…In that study, although the sphenoid sinus volume was smaller in the patient group, no signi cant difference was observed between the patient and control groups. In their study, they concluded that sinus volume may be associated with secondary headache [9].…”

“…While the headache may be a primary headache with an unknown cause, it may also be a secondary headache with an obvious cause (rhinogenic headache, neurological diseases, etc.). Rhinogenic headaches may be caused by septal bulges and mucosal contact points in the nasal or paranasal sinus cavities due to middle concha pathologies [8,9]. In addition, acute sinusitis or exacerbation of chronic sinusitis, which are sinus infections, also occur as common causes of facial and headache [9].…”

Purpose: In our study, it was aimed to research whether there is a relationship between headache and sinus volumes, by measuring sinus volumes from paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNSCT) radiological imaging of patients in the pediatric age group who applied with the complaint of headache and whose etiology could not be determined.Methods: A total of 81 patients, of which 53 pediatric patients who applied to the … Hospital Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic between 1 January 2019 - 31 December 2020 with complaints of headache and underwent PNSCT, and 28 pediatric patients who did not have complaints of headache and had current PNSCT were included in the study. Results: In our study, the mean age of Group I with headache was 13.7 ± 3.4 years and consisted of a total of 53 individuals, of which 35 were women (66%), and 18 were men (34%). The mean age of Group II, which is the control group, was 13.89 ± 3.1 years and consisted of 28 individuals, of which 8 were females (28.6%) and 20 were males (71.4%). The sinus Group 1’s and Group 2’s volumes of were compared, and it was found that the sinus volumes in Group 1 were lower than in Group 2. Conclusion: Our study shows that small paranasal sinus volumes may be involved in the etiology of headache, and no other study has been found in the literature showing this etiology in the pediatric age group.

“…We assume that, on the one hand, the increase in frontal sinus volume may directly or indirectly exert pressure on the frontal lobe or reduce the local space of the cranial cavity of the frontal lobe, resulting in changes in the patient's mood. On the other hand, the discomfort caused by PD can reduce the patients' QoL (31) , which can further aggravate the patients' depression. In addition, some studies have suggested that patients with PD have changes in hormones in the body that can cause depression (32,33) ; therefore we assume that lesions in the frontal sinus can cause depression in the same way.…”

Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have a high incidence rate of anxiety and depression. However, changes in anxiety and depression with different severities of CRS,and the effects of symptoms and anatomical factors on the anxiety and depression of CRS patients remain unclear.Methods A total of 112 patients were enrolled in the study. The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 (SNOT-22) score, Lund-Mackay scale and Lund-Kennedy scale were used to assess the severity of CRS, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate anxiety and depression in patients. Results In the univariate analysis, SNOT-20 scores, nasal symptom scores, facial/ear symptom scores and sleep scores are significantly positively correlated with patients’ GAD-7 scores (all P<0.05); the patients’ SNOT-20 scores, nasal symptom scores, facial/ear symptom scores, sleep scores, and the higher side of the anterior ethmoid sinus and frontal sinus Lund-Mackay scores were significantly positively correlated with the patients’ PHQ-9 scores (all P<0.05). In a multivariate linear regression model, however, none of the covariates were found to be statistically associated with GAD-7. Another multivariate model indicated associations among the SNOT-20 sleep domain scores, the higher side of frontal sinus Lund- Mackay scores and PHQ-9 scores (both P < 0.01). Conclusions Exacerbated nasal and facial/ear symptoms, sleep dysfunction increase patients’ depression and anxiety. Lesions of the frontal sinus and anterior ethmoid sinus may be related to patients' depression. Treatment should be tailored to patients with these symptoms.
