Headache and facial pain
Pain involving structures of the head, including the face, is a common symptom presenting to different specialties and comprises>25% of neurology outpatient referrals in the UK. Facial manifestations of headache disorders, and the common involvement of the neck in both primary and secondary headache disorders, can cause presentation of these conditions to specialties such as maxillofacial surgery, ENT and spinal surgery. Such phenotypes may lead to diagnostic dilemma amongst treating clinicians.
