Migraine – a look down the nose

Studies have suggested that contact between opposing mucosal surfaces in the nasal wall and cavity can be a target of the surgical treatment of migraines. Unfortunately, not enough is known about the role of nasal pathology in the pathogenesis of this condition. The co-existence of further rhinological disorders can be an impediment in defining the cause and effect of anatomical variants. The authors compared MRI scans of migraine- and non-migraine patients to determine the prevalence of such mucosal contact points in an effort to extrapolate whether there is a significant association with migraines.
