BACKGROUND: Tolosa Hunt Syndrome (THS) was first delineated in 1954 and is caused by a granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure or orbit. In this study the different clinical and diagnostic findings of THS are discussed.
METHODS: Case records of patients diagnosed with THS using the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition criteria from January 2016-July 2022 were considered for the current study. Demographic, Clinical, Laboratory and Radiological data of all patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria was collected from the patient case records through the Medical Records Department of BMCRI Super Specialty Hospital.
RESULTS: A total of 60 patients were included in the study with mean age with SD, 50.9 years (13.9) and were predominantly male (66.6%). Restriction of eye movements was the most common symptom affecting 31 (51.7%) patients. Oculomotor nerve (IIIrd Cranial Nerve) palsy was the most common nerve palsy, affecting 36 (60%) patients. Contrast enhancing lesions or T2/FLAIR Hyper-intense areas were seen in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of 59 (98.3%) patients. Cavernous sinus involvement, was the most common site of involvement, in 25 (41.6%) of the patients. All patients were treated with intravenous methyl prednisolone injections and responded well.
CONCLUSION: Restriction of eye movements was the most common symptom, along with cavernous sinus being the most common site of involvement in THS. MRI scans are important diagnostic tools for THS.
