Síndrome de Tolosa-Hunt en el diagnóstico diferencial del dolor periocular.: A propósito de un caso

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is an uncommon disease, described as an idiopathic granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus or the superior orbital fissure. Its diagnosis is based on the presence of unilateral ophtalmoplegia associated with the enlargement and the en- hanced contrast of the affected cavernus sinus. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman with trigeminal first branch pain. After perform- ing extensive diagnostic studies, Tolosa-Hunt syndrome was considered as the cause of symptoms.
