  • Title: The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome: computed tomographic changes and reversal after steroid therapy.
    Author: Neigel JM, Rootman J, Robinson RG, Durity FA, Nugent RA.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1986 Dec; 21(7):287-90. PubMed ID: 3801977.
    Abstract:
    Painful ophthalmoplegia, or Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, is due to nonspecific inflammation of the cavernous sinus. We report two cases of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, which, on high resolution fourth-generation CT scan, showed an abnormality in the cavernous sinus consisting of an enhancing soft tissue mass. Both the clinical findings and the CT lesion resolved after high-dosage corticosteroid therapy.
