Large middle turbinates or septal deflections compressing the ethmoidal nerves have been regarded as one of the causes of this pain in those who have their sinus computed tomography (CT) clear.

Received Dec 2006 Methods: Sixty-one cases were seen; all of them had the xylocaine test positive. They were treated Accepted April 2007 surgically by endoscopic middle turbinectomy or septal surgery. Results: All had relieffrom the symptoms 4 months post operatively, except in five cases relief M’as achieved after revision surgeries for intranasal synechiae. Conclusion: The xylocaine (10 per cent) test seemed to be a good prognostic aid for the surgical procedures for those with Sluder's neuralgia when medical treatment did not seem to relieve the symptom.
