4.1 Presentation/History/ Symptoms ofNasal andPNS Disorders
1. History/Presentation/Chief Complaints of
Nasal diseases—Patients with nasal and para­nasal sinus diseases/tumours/trauma present with various chief complaints.
Nasal discharge Nasal obstruction Alteration in sense of smell Nasal mass Epistaxis Nasal swelling Nasal pain Headache Facial swelling Diplopia Altered vision Watering from eye Orbital swelling Telecanthus Deformities of nose
(a) Nasal discharge (rhinorrhoea): This
condition, commonly known as a runny nose, occurs relatively frequently. It is a common symptom of allergies (hay fever)
or certain viral infections, such as the
common cold, cerebrospinal uid (CSF)
rhinorrhoea, foreign body (FB) in the nose and sinusitis, and it also can be a side effect of crying, exposure to cold temperatures and cocaine abuse. In his­tory, nasal discharges can be described under various subheadings, like type, colour, amount, etc.
Type of discharge—There are various types of discharge from the nose with which the patient can be presented (Table4.1).
Amount of discharge
– Copious—Acute rhinitis, allergic
rhinitis, acute rhinosinusitis, pansinusitis
– Moderate—Bacterial sinusitis,
spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea
– Scanty—Atrophic rhinitis, rhinitis
sicca, rhinitis caseosa
Colour of discharge (Fig.4.1)
– White—Allergic rhinitis, fungal
infection
– Black—Fungal infection (fungal
rhinosinusitis), mucormycosis
– Colourless—Acute rhinorrhoea,
CSF rhinorrhoea, allergic rhinitis – Yellow—Bacterial sinusitis – Redish—Carcinoma, inverted pap-
illoma, granuloma

(b) Nasal obstruction: It is dened as a
blockage of the nose or difculty in breathing through nose. It may be unilat­eral or bilateral and is caused by a wide variety of diseases. Examiners or students should enquire about:
4.1 Presentation/History/Symptoms ofNasal andPNS Disorders
163
• Onset of nasal obstruction—The nasal obstruction can develop suddenly or gradually.
– Sudden onset (nasal obstruction
develops within a short span of time)—FB, acute rhinitis, trauma
– Gradual onset (nasal obstruction
develops over a long span of time and slowly)—DNS with HIT, nasal polyp, nasal mass, rhinosporidiosis, nasal tumours, HIT, concha bullosa
• Side of nasal obstruction—It may be unilateral or bilateral. It can be caused by various disease processes involving vestibule, nasal cavity proper and nasopharynx.
– Causes of unilateral nasal obstruc-
tion (Table4.2)
– Causes of bilateral nasal obstruc-
tion (Table4.3)
• Periodicity of nasal obstruction—Any diurnal variation noted
• Duration
Acute—If nasal obstruction is less
than 3months, caused by FB inser-
tion, furunculosis nose, acute rhi­nosinusitis or trauma to nose.
Chronic—If nasal obstruction is
more than 3months. It is caused by HIT, DNS, nasal polyp, nasal mass, chronic rhinosinusitis, growth in nose, encephalocele and tumour of nose.
• Nature of nasal obstruction – Recurrent—Seasonal allergic rhini-
tis, acute rhinosinusitis
– Persistent—DNS, nasal growth/

smell and may be caused by allergy, infection, DNS, smokers, hormonal imbalance or ageing.
Anosmia—It is dened as total
loss of smell and may be congeni­tal, idiopathic or neurological.
Hypersomnia—It is dened as
heightened sense of smell. It some­times happens on its own but can also occur as part of another condi­tion, including autoimmune dis­ease, Lyme disease and pregnancy.
Dysosmia (phantom smell or
olfactory hallucination)—Any smell alteration
Parosmia—It is dened as dis-
torted perception of smells either pleasant, unpleasant or change in intensity of odour.
Phantosmia—It is dened as per-
ception of smell without an odour present or the smell of something that is not actually present.
Agnosia—Inability to classify or
contrast odours although able to detect odour.
Onset of altered or difculty of sense of smell—It may be sudden or gradual
– Sudden—Head injury, infection,
medication like antidepressant, loratadine
– Gradual—Allergies, polyp, devi-
ated nasal septum, chronic sinus­itis, hormonal, smoking, radiation
Side of altered or difculty of sense of smell—Unilateral or bilateral
– Unilateral—Antrochoanal polyp,
sinusitis, nasal mass, esthesioneu­roblastoma, DNS, dental problem
– Bilateral—Ethmoidal polyp, aller-
gies, medication like antidepres­sant, loratadine, hormonal imbalance, viral infection
Duration of altered sense of smell – Acute—Viral infection, head
trauma
– Chronic—Chronic sinusitis, DNS,
smoking, nasal mass, allergies, drugs, radiotherapy
Progression of altered sense of smell – Progressive—Allergies, smoking,
drug induced
– Non-progressive—DNS, radiother-
apy treatment
Time of onset – Congenital—Patients who have
congenital olfactory dysfunction usually have no memory associa­tions of avour or smell perception throughout their life. It is caused by Kallman’s syndrome or hypogo­nadotropic hypogonadism, congen­ital olfactory dysfunction or familial anosmia.
– Acquired—Acquired smell loss
through things like an infection, smoking, nasal growth or a brain injury is more common.

(e) Headache: Headache is one of the most
common health problems experienced by most people at some time. There are vari­ous causes of headaches like emotional (stress, depression or anxiety), medical (migraine, high blood pressure), physical (such as an injury) and environmental (weather). It can be primary or secondary.
166
Primary headache Secondary headache Primary tension headaches that are episodic
Primary tension headaches that are chronic Primary muscle contraction headaches Primary migraine headaches with auraPrimary migraine headaches without aura Primary cluster headache Primary paroxysmal hemicrania (a type of cluster headache) Primary cough headache Primary stabbing headache Primary headache associated with sexual intercourse Primary thunderclap headache Hypnic headache (headaches that awaken a person from sleep) Hemicrania continua (headaches that are persistently on one side only) New daily persistent headache (NDPH) (a type of chronic headache) Headache from exertion Trigeminal neuralgia and other cranial nerve inammation

Disorders Infection Structural problems with the bones of the face, teeth, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses or other structures Substance abuse or withdrawal
Site of headache—The differential diagnosis can be predicted by the site of headache (Table4.7 and Fig.4.2).
Types of headaches

Specic features of frontal headache Diagnosis Frontal headache which increases on bending forward or/and may be
associated with recurrent URI and facial pain Frontal headache which is more in the morning and relieved in the
evening. This is also known as an ofce headache It is a frontal headache which is more in the evening and relieved on
taking rest Frontal headache which is dull and boring type with problem in vision Refractory error Ipsilateral frontal headache, which is associated with facial or nasal pain
and relieved by anaesthetizing the nose

Specic features of occipital headache Name Diagnosis Throbbing type of pain may be present in back of neck,
occipital region, vertex or retro-orbital area This is dened as sudden, severe, throbbing, intense,
piercing, stabbing and sharp pain. Each episode of intense pain may only last for a few seconds or minutes. It may present at the top of neck, back of head, behind the ear and behind the eye. This increases by turning the head to one side, laying the head down on pillow and brushing the hair

behind the ear and behind the eye and it increases on turning the head to one side, laying the head down on pillow and brushing the hair (Table4.9).
Types of retro-orbital pain—It is
dened as pressure dagger feelings or ice-pick feeling, brief, severe, behind the eyes, with or without blurred vision. It can also be associ­ated with temperomandibular joint disorder (TMD); patients with lim­ited mouth opening often experi­ence these kinds of symptoms. The spasm of sphenomandibularis mus­cle can cause strain and torque of the sphenoid bone and contribute to the above- mentioned symptoms. The sphenomandibularis muscle (an internal muscle behind the eyes) runs from the mandible (inter­nal lower jaw) and inserts into the sphenoid bone just behind the eyes (Table4.10).
Types of pain in one side of the
head (hemicranial headache)—It is dened as pain in one side of the head that may or may not involve the face. It may arise from both intracranial and extracranial struc­tures such as cranium, neck, ves­sels, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, teeth, mouth and neck. Two-thirds of patients with hemicranial head­aches have primary headaches, and the remaining one-third have either secondary headaches or neuralgias. Many of these patients with hemi­cranial pain syndromes have over­lapping presentations and may present to a variety of clinicians, including neurologists, dentists, otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists and physiotherapists. Unfortunately, there is no uniform approach for such patients, and diagnostic ambiguity is frequently encountered in clinical practice (Table4.11 and Fig.4.3).

Table 4.10 Specic features and D/D of retro-orbital pain
Specic features of retro- orbital pain Diagnosis It is characterized as a brief but severe retro- or periorbital pain with tearing and
redness around the eye, facial swelling and blocked or runny nose. Each cluster usually lasts between 15min and 3h and may occur 1–8 times per day. It is one of the most painful headaches, often awakening the patient in the middle of the night
This type of pain is present between the eyes with tenderness when touching the bridge of your nose
It is a rare disorder characterized by unilateral severe periorbital headaches, along with decreased and painful eye movements (ophthalmoplegia)
It is dened as a dagger or ice pick, feeling behind the eye Sphenomandibularis
