ABSTRACT
The problem of headache is relevant for doctors of any specialty. The diseases of ENT organs, due to the specificity of their anatomic location and rich innervation, may cause both acute and chronic facial aches and headaches – cephalgias, significantly reducing the life quality of the patients. This problem is not widely covered in the literature, and otorhinolaryngologists, in their everyday practice, often do not focus on the problem of the patient’s headache, since there are no standardized algorithms for assessing the cephalgias caused by ENT-organs pathology. Based on the results of study of a group of patients with neurological complaints who underwent surgical treatment due to chronic nasal pathology – the nasal septum deviation, nasal concha hypertrophy –the recommendations on the practical management of such patients have been formulated. The authors have developed a system for assessing the efficacy of application anesthesia of the nasal mucous membrane, suggesting the functional results of surgical treatment of the nasal cavity structures in relation to the neurologic symptoms relief.
