Other inflammatory disorder (temporal arteritis, cavernous sinus inflammation) can not be excluded either. Do you have nasal congestion?For this reason, I recommend consulting with your  GP and performing a sinus X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate). In case of a sinus infection, a sinus discharge bacterial culture would help find the proper treatment based on the type of infectious agent. If a sinus X ray study is excluded, I recommend performing a brain MRI or CT scan to exclude other brain lesions. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Aida
