The main difference between SUNCT and SUNA is the clinical presentation of the secondary autonomic symptoms. In SUNCT, both conjunctival injection (red eyes) and lacrimation on the same side of the headache should be present.

If a person has had sinusitis for fewer than 10 days without the symptoms becoming worse, then the infection is presumed to be viral. [1] When symptoms last more than 10 days or get worse in that time, then the infection is considered bacterial sinusitis. [65] Pain in the teeth and bad breath are also more indicative of bacterial disease. [66]

This is due to pain originating from the frontal sinus, it being above the brow bones. Less common is pain referred to the temporal, occipital, or retrobulbar region. Epistaxis or serosanguineous secretion from the nose may occur. Neurological symptoms may affect the adjacent fifth cranial nerve and especially the infraorbital nerve.
A rhinolith (from rhino- 'nose' and -lith 'stone') is a stone present in the nasal cavity. It is an uncommon medical phenomenon, not to be confused with dried nasal mucus. A rhinolith usually forms around the nucleus of a small exogenous foreign body, blood clot or secretion by slow deposition of calcium and magnesium carbonate and phosphate ...
