What You Need to Know
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) rarely occurs with sinusitis but it has been described. The persistent congestion and your severe headache suggest that, despite the "clear" sinus x-rays you may have sinusitis or an infection of the sinus that has extended beyond the sinus walls. That you are still ill suggests a possible infectious complication.
Trigeminal neuralgia usually affects one side of the face. In some cases it can affect both sides, although not usually at the same time. The pain can be in the teeth, lower jaw, upper jaw or cheek. Less commonly the pain can also be in the forehead or eye. You may sense when an attack is about to happen, although they usually start unexpectedly.

Evidence suggests that in up to 95% of cases, trigeminal neuralgia is caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve close to where it enters the brain stem, the lowest part of the brain that merges with the spinal cord. This type of trigeminal neuralgia is known as primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Atypical facial pain (AFP) was an umbrella term used to categorize all facial pains that didn't mimic the classic symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia — severe pain that could last seconds or minutes and be brought on by triggers. In recent years, however, AFP has come to describe facial pain with no known cause.
Code R51 is the diagnosis code used for Headache. It is the most common form of pain.

There are two types of trigeminal neuralgia that one can experience: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 trigeminal neuralgia (TN1) is characterized by sharp (also referred to as lancinating) pain, which comes in sudden bursts. Type 2 trigeminal neuralgia (TN2) is characterized by constant pain.
Conditions that can mimic trigeminal neuralgia include cluster headaches or migraines, post-herpetic neuralgia (pain following an outbreak of shingles) and TMJ disorder. It's also important to rule out sinusitis and ear infections.
Disorders of trigeminal nerve. Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by involvement of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve). A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve). Diseases of the trigeminal nerve or its nuclei, which are located in the pons and medulla.
The nerve is composed of three divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular, which provide sensory innervation to structures of the face, sinuses, and portions of the cranial vault. The mandibular nerve also innervates muscles of mastication.
Atypical trigeminal neuralgia (ATN), or type 2 trigeminal neuralgia, is a form of trigeminal neuralgia, a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve. This form of nerve pain is difficult to diagnose, as it is rare and the symptoms overlap with several other disorders.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 350.1 was previously used, G50.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
