Abstract
Background: Drainage and ventilation of the larger sinuses are essential to the maintenance of their normal functions. The ventilation and drainage of the maxillary and frontal sinuses pass through very narrow and complicated clefts before they reach the middle meatus. These clefts, the ethmoidal infundibulum and frontal recess respectively, are parts of the anterior ethmoid. Methodology: Patients presenting with sinugenic headache during study period of two years inclusive of all age groups and sex. The data was collected on the basis of detailed history, systemic examination, ENT examination and investigations. They were then divided into different age groups for a comparative study. Results: The mean incidence was 29.2 years with median of 25.5 and standard deviation 12.87, minimum age was 15 years and maximum was 68 years. Conclusion: The average age group of study population were 21.20 ± 12.87 years
