This paper presents an evaluation and results of a study conducted on 62 patients out of 140 cases of chronic headache seen in ENT OPD. 32 patients were taken up for minimal endoscopic surgery. 23 cases (72%) have shown significant relief from headache over a period of 6 months or more. 11 cases showed anatomical / pathological variations at the ethmoidalis infundibulum, the commonest cause being enlarged bulla ethmoidalis followed by minimal polyps/polypoidal mucosa at the frontal recess area. Other causes are hyperplastic sinusitis, high posterior septal deviation, large middle turbinate, paradoxical middle turbinate and concha bullosa.
