Sladera Symptom complex

Slader's symptom complex

The Sluder symptom complex, also known as pterygopalatine ganglion syndrome, is named after the American otolaryngologist Greenfield Sluder (1868-1928). This syndrome is characterized by unilateral headaches in the forehead, eyes and cheekbones, which can radiate to the back of the head. The pain is often described as throbbing and worsens with coughing, sneezing, or tilting the head.

The cause of the slider symptom complex is inflammation or irritation of the pterygopalatine ganglion (a group of nerve fibers located in the back of the nasopharynx). This may be caused by an infection, allergy, injury, or tumor. The diagnosis is made based on characteristic symptoms and exclusion of other causes of headache.

Treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and elimination of the causative factor, if identified. If conservative therapy is ineffective, surgery may be required.

The prognosis for slider symptom complex is favorable with timely diagnosis and treatment. However, relapses are possible if the underlying cause of the disease is not eliminated.



Slader's symptom is a complex of symptoms that manifests itself with inflammation of the pterygopalatine fossa and its branches. It can be a sign of various diseases such as infections, tumors and trauma to the area. In this article we will look at what a slider symptom is, its description and diagnosis, as well as possible causes of its occurrence and methods of treatment.

Slader's symptom is one of the most characteristic signs of inflammation of the pterygopalatine nodes. These nodes are located under the eyeballs and are responsible for producing tears, moisturizing the cornea and washing away dust and dirt from the eyes. However, when these nodes become inflamed, it can lead to decreased tear production and the development of dry eyes, which in turn can lead to watery eyes. In addition, inflammation of the nodes may be accompanied by pain and swelling around them. Symptoms of slider syndrome typically include redness of the conjunctiva (the lining of the cornea) and eyelids, watery eyes, squinting or blinking, swelling around the eyes, and tenderness when moving the eyeballs. Sometimes there may also be pain in the back of the head, neck and head. Treatment for slider syndrome depends on the cause that caused it. If it is an infection, antibiotics are usually prescribed.
