Resumen
BUEDO RUBIO, M.I.; MARTIN-TAMAYO BLAZQUEZ, M.P. y ONSURBE RAMIREZ, I.. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, a diagnosis of exclusion. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.65, pp.e45-e47. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322015000100010.
Painful ophthalmoplegia is a rare entity in children, characterized by orbital pain and ipsilateral oculomotor paresis. The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), is caused by a granulomatous inflammation involving the cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure of unknown etiology. The diagnosis of THS is based upon the clinical presentation in conjunction with neuroimaging results. The STH usually has good clinical response to corticosteroids, but occasionally ophthalmoplegia persists in varying degrees and some patients follow a relapsing-remitting course.
