Overview

Rhinosinusitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may present with a headache and/or respiratory symptoms.

Differential Diagnosis

Acute rhinosinusitis

Acute rhinosinusitis must be differentiated from:

  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Headaches and midfacial pain syndromes: migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania, atypical facial pain and midfacial segment pain
  • Orofacial pain syndromes (e.g. temporomandibular disorders)
  • Dental disease
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic rhinosinusitis

Chronic rhinosinusitis must be differentiated from:[1][2][3]

Disease History Physical examination Laboratory or radiological findings
Acute viral nasopharyngitis[4]
  • Diagnosis is usually clinical and lab tests are rarely needed
  • The virus can be cultured on human lung cells but results take time
  • PCR is rapid and accurate test but done only in immunocompromised patients when the virus strain needs to be known
Allergic rhinitis[5]
  • Characterized by repeated paroxysms of rhinorrhea, sneezing and cough.
  • Symptoms may be related to a specific season of the year, hence the name “seasonal allergies”.
  • Rhinorrhea fluid is usually clear and watery.
  • Examination of the nose reveals a crease below the nasal bridge from repeated pulling of the nose secondary to irritation.
  • Edema in the area below the eye if associated conjunctivitis is present.[6]
Acute sinusitis[7]
Infectious mononucleosis[9]
