Аннотация
BACKGROUND: We are reporting a rare case of a 60-year-old woman with a past history of end-stage renal disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma who presented to our hospital with confusion, unilateral headache, painful ophthalmoplegia and ptosis. The patient was diagnosed clinically with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS).
RESULTS: THS is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other diseases were ruled out. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbit was negative twice within a week. The patient was treated with corticosteroids with marked improvement of the orbital pain and headache and mild improvement of the cranial nerves palsy.
CONCLUSION: Clinical diagnosis of THS could be supported by radiological findings. According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-3 beta diagnostic criteria, the diagnosis must be confirmed with an abnormal MRI and/or pathological sample. We add to the previous findings of THS with a normal MRI. Although MRI plays a crucial role in differential diagnosis, it should not, nor should the biopsy, be a must for the diagnosis. Limitations of using MRI in some patients are another problem.
