ABSTRACT
The Syndrome of Tolosa Hunt [STH] is a curiosity whose pathogenesis is completely unknown. It is a diagnosis of elimination, obliging to review the list of the painful ophthamloplegias. We report five original observations by their mode of presentation. Our study relates five patients hospitalized for assessment unilateral of orbital and retro-orbital pains, with an attack of the occulomotricity, enroled between 1993 and 2004. The average age of our patients was 43,6 years. The cerebral scanner was performed in all cases and MRI in two cases only. The attack of the cranial nerves observed in our series was in four cases for the common oculomotor nerve, three cases for the external oculomotor nerve, three cases for the optic nerve, the attack of the ophthalmic branch VI was found in two cases. The advent of the scanner and the MRI simplified discussion of the differential diagnosis. The corticotherapy has a spectacular effect on the favorable evolution of the disease
