Contrast-enhanced MR imaging of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is characterized by repeated episodes of boring retroperiorbital pain, which is separated by days or months and is accompanied by variable deficits of the third through sixth cranial nerves. It is of unknown origin, responds promptly to corticosteroids, and remains primarily a diagnosis of exclusion [1, 2]. This article details the angiegraphic and MR features of a case of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

Normal cranial nerves in the cavernous sinuses: contrast-enhanced three-dimensional constructive interference in the steady state MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3D) constructive interference in steady state (CISS) MR imaging is useful for demonstrating cranial nerves (CNs) in the cistern. The purpose of this study was to evaluate normal CNs III, IV, V1, V2, and VI in the cavernous sinuses by using contrast-enhanced, three-dimensional (3D), Fourier transformation CISS MR imaging. METHODS In 76 normal cavernous...
متن کاملUnusual diagnosis of Von Hippel Lindau syndrome on PET/CT - Case report and brief review of literature
We report an unusual case of a young male with cerebellar hemangioblastoma treated previously for medullary carcinoma of thyroid, whose PET/CT scans revealed a constellation of findings that suggested the rare Von Hippel Lindau syndrome. The diagnosis was clinched by confirming the findings on whole body contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast enha...
متن کاملA Case of the Internal Carotid Artery–Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Mimicking Tolosa–Hunt Syndrome
A 53-year-old woman experienced a right retrobulbar pain followed by ipsilateral extraocular palsies in all directions without dilated pupils or ptosis. Because a plain head computed tomography (CT) scan obtained on her initial visit showed no abnormal findings, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or a giant cavernous aneurysm, her condition was provisionally diagnosed as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and e...

متن کاملMR imaging of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.
The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome consists of painful ophthalmoplegia caused by cavernous sinus inflammation, which is responsive to steroid therapy. The MR features of 11 patients with the clinical diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome were studied. Two patients had normal MR studies of the orbit and cavernous sinuses. In nine patients, abnormal signal and/or mass lesions were seen in the cavernous sinuses...
