Computerised axial tomography and magnetic resonance scanning in the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

Computerised axial tomography and magnetic resonance scanning in the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

A 50-year-old Asian male presented with a left sixth nerve palsy, left temporal pain, and rapidly deteriorating visual acuity in the left eye. A high resolution CT scan and magnetic resonance scan showed a left retro-orbital enhancing lesion extending from the lateral margin of the cavernous sinus on to the greater wing of the sphenoid and into the left orbit. Arteriography was normal. On high ...

The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

Painful ophthalmoplegia due to idiopathic granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus/superior orbital fissure has been termed Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS). This report is based upon 146 patients with this syndrome published in the English literature. The clinical profile, natural history, diagnostic evaluation, pathologic findings, differential diagnosis, and therapy of THS are presented. ...

Tolosa–Hunt Syndrome Demonstrated by Constructive Interference Steady State Magnetic Resonance Imaging

PURPOSE To highlight the role of constructive interference steady state (CISS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS). CASE REPORT We describe a case of THS in a 55-year-old woman presenting with left painful opthalmoplegia that was diagnosed by CISS MRI. Patient responded to steroid treatment and the lesion resolved. CONCLUSION Imaging with MRI can ...
