Abstract. Purpose:To report the diagnostic value of percussion on the face in patients with ocular pain of idiopathic nature. Cases and Method:This review was made on 114 outpatients who were seen during the past 12 years 4 months. They complained of pain around or behind the eye and showed no ophthalmological abnormalities. They received percussion in four sites of the face corresponding to bilateral maxillary and frontal sinus. All the patients were seen by physicians in other specialities. Results:Causative lesions for ocular pain were identified in 109 out of 114 cases(96%). They included parasinusitis 95 cases(83%),allergic rhinitis 6 cases(5%),adenoiditis 3 cases(3%),dental problems 3 cases(3%)and migraine 2 cases(2%). Tenderness to percussion was present in 77 cases(68%),of which 71 cases(92%)had paranasal sinusitis. Conclusion:Checking tenderness to percussion on the face may be useful in the etiological diagnosis of ocular pain without ophthalmological lesions.
