Abstract
The diagnosis of migraine is based on clear criteria outlined in the International Classification of Headache Disorders version 3 (ICHD-3). Notably, the criteria in ICHD-3 omit the location of migraine. There are increasing reports of migraine in the facial region.(1-3) Facial presentations of migraine are not easy to diagnose as they appear in the lower 2/3rd of the face, often in the maxillary sinus region, around the ear, the upper/lower jaws and teeth.(4) Moreover, the symptomatology of these facial representations of these headaches often resembles sinusitis and dental pathology.
We will review these presentations, their diagnosis and possible pathophysiology.
