Intractable headache: aseptic meningitis and sphenoidal sinusitis.
Sphenoid sinusitis, an uncommon cause of headache, is associated with significant morbidity. A 30-year-old man presented with a progressive intractable headache and aseptic meningitis. Failure to recognize sphenoid disease on brain CT delayed diagnosis; treatment with i.v. antibiotics resolved the disorder.
