ABSTRACT
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a rare disease in children characterized by dull, persistent pain around the affected eye and ophthalmoplegia caused by granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure, or orbit. Although spontaneous remission can occur, corticosteroids frequently have a dramatic response; however, recurrence can transpire after complete remission. We report an 11-year-old girl with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome who responded to corticosteroid promptly, without complications, but suffered three recurrences of headache and retro-orbital pain and required maintenance on a low dose of steroid.
