摘要
Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcome in patients diagnosed as having rhinogenic contact point headaches (RCPH). Subjects and Methods: Thirty-six patients (aged 1758 years) with RCPH underwent mini functional endoscopic sinus surgery procedures. Patients' pain complaints were evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS) both pre- and postoperatively. Results: All patients reported a decrease in the intensity of pain postoperatively. Nineteen patients (52.7%) reported complete relief. The difference between the preoperative (mean 8.62) and postoperative VAS pain scores (mean 2.11) was statistically very significant (p = 0.0000). No major complications were encountered. Conclusion: The removal of contact points in patients with RCPH is very effective in carefully selected patients. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel
