Empty nose syndrome”, famous for the “Wenling injury case”, is an otorhinolaryngological disease that has been recognized clinically in recent years, mostly seen after nasal surgery. About 20% of patients have empty nose after turbinate surgery, and the etiological mechanism is not very clear. Most scholars disagree with the report that empty nose is the “culprit” of the Wenling injury case, and CCTV reporters have interviewed the suspect of the Wenling injury case (there is a detailed text on the relevant website). After the operation, the patient’s headache was not relieved, and he became angry with the doctor. In this case, there are relevant departments of personnel to discuss in depth, claims vary, and there is no accurate conclusion. In this article, only from the medical professional point of view, is it still necessary to think about the following: 1. Empty nose syndrome caused after nasal surgery, is the surgery not successful? 2. Is the patient’s headache still present after surgery related to the empty nose syndrome? 3. Is the patient suffering from serious psychological problems or a combination of mental disorders? First question: The surgery was successful and the nasal congestion improved. However, the patient still felt uncomfortable headache. The patient mistakenly thought that the doctor did not cure his pain and was angry at the doctor because he thought the operation was not successful. Is there a relationship between the postoperative complication of empty nose and the patient’s headache? Or was there a combination of chronic headache present before the surgery? It is important to understand this question. If the headache was preoperative and can exist after the nasal surgery, it may be better to advise the patient to go to the relevant department for treatment of the headache! Will the patient still think that the surgeon has not cured his nasal disorder? Therefore, detailed preoperative information is very important! The second problem: the diagnosis of the disease is involved. Clinical nasal diseases, especially sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps, can cause headaches; on the other hand, certain headaches, especially neurological headaches, can also cause nasal discomfort. It should be clear that “not all headaches are caused by nasal diseases”. Intracranial diseases, eye, ear and oral diseases, neurological and vascular diseases can cause headaches. Therefore, nasal diseases can cause headaches and headaches can be combined with nasal diseases. A clear diagnosis before surgery is very important! The third problem: Chronic pain can be complicated by abnormal psychological problems such as insomnia, anxiety, hypochondria, depression, suicide and other psychological disorders in severe cases, which should be given high attention. Comorbid psychological problems are psychological disorders caused by the disease. Comorbid psychiatric disorders, on the other hand, are the coexistence of two diseases, i.e., somatic diseases combined with psychiatric disorders. Those with comorbid psychiatric disorders need a psychiatrist who can make a clear diagnosis.
