Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Middle meatus: syndrome can produce a pressure like pain that radiates to the vertex (top of the head) It results from a blockage of the middle opening in the nasal cavity from swollen mucosa or a bone spur (or both) See an ENT if unsure of the diagnosis
