ABSTRACT
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a rare, idiopathic, non-specific inflammation within the cavernous sinus and/or superior orbital fissure leading to painful ophthalmoplegia. The authors describe the first case of a 12-year-old otherwise healthy girl who presented with painful ophthalmoplegia after a documented COVID-19 infection. Neuroimaging revealed inflammation within the ipsilateral cavernous sinus, Meckel’s cave, and orbital apex. After a comprehensive work-up was negative, the patient experienced prompt clinical and radiographic improvement with high-dose corticosteroids, and a diagnosis of THS was made. © The Author(s) 2022.
