Why the confusion about sinus headache?

Howard Levine et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2014 Apr.

Abstract

Patients often believe they have a sinus headache when in fact the headache frequently has another cause. The diagnosis of sinus headache can be confusing because of signs and symptoms in common with migraine. Although not as common a diagnosis as migraine, sinus headache and the associated treatments can be found extensively in references on the Internet.
