Abstract

"Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a clinical syndrome of painful ophthalmoplegia associated with an idiopathic inflamma-tion in the superior orbital fissure or cavernous sinus. We report a 61-year-old woman with recurrent THS. She had been treated with steroids for the painful ophthalmoplegia. After a symptom-free period, she developed similar symptoms. The postcontrast brain MRI showed increased signal in the cavernous sinus, which was also seen in the previous MRI. Key Words : Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, Ophthalmoplegia, MRI"
