Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a painful ophthalmoplegia due to nonspecific granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus. A 16-year-old man developed Tolosa-Hunt syndrome accompanied by facial nerve palsy. MRI showed an inflammatory lesion in the cavernous sinus with gadolinium enhancement. This rare presentation suggests that Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a localized form of idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis.
