Any reason for sinus surgery when MRI and CT scans are normal?

Question: Any reason for sinus surgery when MRI and CT scans are normal?

Answer:

Dear Michael,

Newer research has been showing that most headaches that had been attributed to sinus are actually Migraine attacks. Some of your symptoms certain fit Migraine disease, but some of your patterns would also be rather unusual for Migraine. Unfortunately, there is no diagnostic test that will confirm a diagnosis of Migraine, or many other types of head pain disorders, for that matter.

At this point, it's terribly difficult to know what to recommend to you other than seeking out a very experienced headache specialist with an established track record. We don't know who you've seen, but it should be noted that it's very easy for someone to say they're a specialist, even if they don't have much experience or advanced training in the field. That's why we recommend seeing a specialist with an established track record. There's a link to our directory of recommended specialists below.

You might also very well benefit from visiting our forums and talking with others who are or have been in similar situations. There's a link to the forums below also.

Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
