Table 4.12 Presentation of trigeminal autonomic cephalgia
Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs)—Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, or TACs, are a group of primary headaches characterized by pain that occurs on one side of the head or face. TACS are often accompanied by a small number of symptoms that may last for a short period of time on the same side of the head, such as teary eyes, nasal congestion and, in some cases, disrupted nerve pathways such as facial tics or paralysis. The International Headache Society’s (IHS) classication includes cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania and short-lasting, unilateral, neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT). Hemicrania continua, although classied separately, is thought to be related to TACs
Cluster headache—Cluster headache (CH) is a primary headache disorder that consists of severe headaches occurring on one side of the head that may be associated with red or teary eyes, runny or stuffy nose, ushing or sweating of the face and/or a sense of restlessness and agitation. The term ‘cluster’ refers to the recurrence of headache attacks in a series (cluster periods) lasting for weeks or months, separated by periods of remission lasting for months or years
Hemicrania continua—Hemicrania continua is a primary chronic daily headache marked by continuous, uctuating pain that varies from mild to moderate severity with occasional attacks of severe pain. This always occurs unilaterally (on one side of the head/face) and is superimposed with additional debilitating symptoms, such as watery or red eyes, blocked nasal passages and runny nose. However, some individuals with hemicrania continua report bilateral pain (that is, pain on both sides of the head/face) or ‘ice-pick’ pain. Hemicrania continua headaches are typically diagnosed when a patient has had a one-sided daily or continuous headache of moderate intensity with occasional short, piercing head pain for more than 3months without shifting sides or pain-free periods. This type of headache only responds to indomethacin
Paroxysmal hemicrania—This rare form of headache occurs primarily in adults with patients reporting severe throbbing, claw-like, or boring pain, usually on one side of the face; in, around or behind the eye; and occasionally reaching the back of the neck. Episodes of paroxysmal hemicrania typically occur from 5 to 40 times per day and last 2–30min. Along with attacks, the headache may cause episodes of redness or tearing of the eye, runny or stuffy nose, sweating or ushing of the face on the same side of the headache pain (called unilateral cranial autonomic symptoms), and certain movements of the head or neck or external pressure to the neck may trigger these headaches in some patients

Table 4.12 (continued)
SUNCT headache—(Short-Lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform Headache with Conjunctival Injection and Tearing)— It is a rare disorder that primarily affects men over the age of 50. This condition is marked by bursts of moderate to severe burning, piercing or throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head and around the eye or temple. The pain usually peaks within seconds of onset and may follow a pattern of increasing and decreasing intensity. Typical nervous system responses include watery eyes, reddish or bloodshot eyes caused by dilation of blood vessels (conjunctival injection), nasal congestion, runny nose, sweating, swelling of the eyelids and increased pressure within the eye on the affected side of the head. Blood pressure may also rise during the attacks, and movement of the neck may trigger these headaches
Cervicogenic headache—A cervicogenic headache occurs as a symptom of a bone, disc and/or soft tissue disorder of the cervical spine. These secondary headaches are essentially ‘referred pain’, meaning that while the pain is perceived to be coming from the head, it is actually coming from a source in the neck. Those suffering from cervicogenic headache often report tenderness or a reduced range of motion in their neck, or a worsening headache associated with neck movement (however, the headache itself may or may not be associated with neck pain). The headaches typically occur on one side of the head, and the pain may radiate from the neck or back of the head up to the front of the head or behind the eye. There is also the possibility that cervical spondylosis, or age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal discs in the neck, may cause this type of headache
Primary stabbing/ice-pick headache—Primary stabbing headaches, commonly called ‘ice-pick’ headaches, are short, stabbing and extremely intense headaches that generally last for only seconds and are common in patients with migraine. Other common names for stabbing headaches include ice-pick pains; jabs and jolts; needle-in-the­eye syndrome; ophthalmodynia periodica; and sharp short-lived head pain. Symptoms of primary stabbing headache include single or multiple stabs of pain that occur seemingly out of nowhere. These stabs can last seconds (many lasting under 3s), and the stabs can move from one area to another on either the same side of the head or the opposite side. If the stabs occur only in one place, it is important to evaluate to exclude any structural changes or injury to a nerve at that site. At most, primary stabbing headaches occur only a few times a day but may occur more frequently in rare cases

• Other injuries to be ruled out are orbital injury, pharyngeal injury, intra­cranial injury, neck trauma and trauma to other parts of the body.
(j) Epistaxis (nasal bleeding):
• Presentation of epistaxis—It can be bleeding from one or both nostrils and bleeding down the back of the throat with spitting, coughing or vomiting of blood.
• Duration of bleeding
– Acute bleeding—Trauma (nose
picking commonest in children)
– Chronic bleeding—
Microaneurysm, rhinosporidiosis, JNA, angiomatous polyp, bleeding disorders
– Recurrent bleeding—Hypertension,
JNA, bleeding disorders
• Onset of bleeding
– Sudden onset—It is caused by
trauma, nose picking, hypertension, bleeding disorder, JNA and angio­matous polyp.
– Gradual onset—Rhinolith, FB in
nose, nasal tumour.
• Nature of bleeding
– Continuous—Bleeding disorders,
JNA, microaneurysm, maxillary artery tear
– Episodic—How long the episode
lasts, how the bleeding stops, nasal tumours, rhinosporidiosis, hyper­tension, nose picking

nose
– Moderate—Rhinosporidiosis, angi-
omatous polyp – Severe—Haemangioma – Profuse—JNA, tear in internal
maxillary artery
• Site of bleeding—This can be con­rmed by asking about the direction of the ow of blood in a sitting position.
176
4 History andExamination ofNose andPara Nasal Sinuses
– Blood ow through the anterior
nares (anterior epistaxis)—It is caused by nose picking, microaneu­rysm and rhinosporidiosis.
– Blood trickle down in the orophar-
ynx or throat (posterior epistaxis)— It is caused by hypertension and trauma.
• Side of bleeding – Unilateral—Microaneurysm, rhi-
nosporidiosis, angiomatous polyp
– Bilateral—Nose picking, bleeding
disorders, hypertension
• Associated symptoms—H/O hyper-
tension, nose picking, bleeding disor­der, nasal mass, age of patient, facial swelling, ear symptoms.
(k) Nasal regurgitation: This is dened as
food or uid that comes up into the nose during swallowing. This occurs due to incomplete closure of the velopharynx.
• Presentation/history of nasal regurgi-
tation—Nasal regurgitation, if present, strongly suggests a neurogenic pro­cess. Patient complains of food coming to the nose while swallowing, poor nutrition and recurrent nasal discharge while swallowing. In infants, velopha­ryngeal dysfunction, e.g. cleft palate, is a common cause of milk coming in the nose while feeding and recurrent nasal or ear infections, while in adult nasal regurgitation is due to neurologi­cal causes, trauma to palate and destructive lesions of palate.
• Duration
Acute—Acute palatal palsy, trauma with palatal perforation Chronic—Palatal palsy, cleft palate, bid uvula, Oral submucous brosis (OSMF)
• Mode of onset
Sudden—Acute palatal paralysis, trauma with perforation of palate Insidious—OSMF
• Age of onset
Acquired—Trauma, palatal palsy, GERD, OSMF, palatal palsy
Congenital—Cleft palate
• Associated symptoms and history— Sore throat, hoarseness of voice, short­ness of breath, chest discomfort, food refusal, failure to thrive and other weakness
(l) Deformities of nose: Nasal deformities
are abnormalities in the shape or structure of the nose. In some cases, the deformity can be a result of trauma or injury; in other cases, the deformity could be some­thing the child was born with.
• Presentation of nasal deformities— The nasal deformities can present with deformities of the dorsum of the nose (crooked nose, deviated dor­sum, hump nose, depressed nose, supratip depression, saddle nose), alar deformities (collapsed ala, ste­nosis of anterior nares, wide ala) and columellar deformities (retracted columella, hanging columella, shorted columella).
• Types of nasal deformities—These can be depressed deformities, deviated or crooked nose deformities and hump nose deformities (Table4.22).

4.1 Presentation/History/Symptoms ofNasal andPNS Disorders
177
• Sites of deformities—The site of deformities can be the whole nose, ala of nose, columella of nose and dorsum of nose.
– Deformities of dorsum of nose
Deviated nose—When a whole dorsum is deviated from midline to one side, it is called as devi­ated nose. Crooked nose—When a part of dorsum is deviated to one side and rest to another side, it is called crooked nose. Saddle nose—When whole bony and cartilaginous dorsum is depressed, giving concave appearance is known as a saddle nose. Humped nose—A part of nasal dorsum is elevated. Tensed nose—It is dened as excessive growth of the quadri­lateral cartilage or bony frame­work resulting in a high nasal dorsum with anterior and some­times inferior displacement of the nasal tip cartilages. In ten­sion nose, the anterior septal angle is upper than the tip­dening point. Supratip depression—Dorsum of nose cephalad to tip of nose is depressed caused by post-SMR fracture dislocation of septal cartilage.
– Deformities of base of nose—Nasal
base is dened as an imaginary line between the two most lateral points where alae nasi attach to face. Nasal width deformities—Pinched nose (narrow nostril width) and wide nose (increased nasal width). Nostril shape deformity—Nasal out­line, alar base position, nostril out­line, nostril axis and columellar angle
– Deformities of tip of nose
Loss of nasal tip support and denition
Shortened (vertical) nasal length Overrotation of the nasal tip Retrusion of the nasal spine and caudal septum Depression of supratip of nose Overhanging columella Retrusion of columella Alar collapse

4.2 Examination ofNose andParanasal Sinuses
4.2.1 Examination ofNose
4.2.1.1 Functional Examination ofNose
1. Examination of the external nose:
(a) General inspection of nose: It begins
with an overall inspection of the nose. It is done to evaluate the type, size, shape, deformity, deviation of nose, colour and texture of the skin of nose.
Type of nose—It varies in different ethnic groups and geographical areas group (Fig.4.4).
Shape of nose—The external nose is said to have a pyramidal shape but it varies (Fig.4.5).
Size of nose—Average male has a nose size of 2.2in., while the average female nose size is 2in. The nose is classied into small, medium and tall (Fig.4.6).
Overlying skin of nose—Normally, the skin over the bony part of the nose is thin, and overlying the cartilaginous part is thicker with many sebaceous glands. This skin extends into the ves­tibule of the nose via the nares.
– Type of skin—Thick or thin,
Fitzpatrick type, sebaceous
– Discolouration
Redness—Rosacea, acne, skin irritation, windburn, allergic contact dermatitis Hyperpigmentation—Melasma (due to hormonal changes in the body)
