ABSTRACT
Tolosa Hunt syndrome (THS), also known as painful
ophthalmoplegia, recurrent ophthalmoplegia, or ophthalmoplegia syndrome, is
characterized by unilateral periorbital headaches with painful and restricted
eye movements. It is associated with nonspecific granulomatous inflammation of
the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure, and/or the apex of the orbit.
Glucocorticoids are the mainstay of management. However, there are no specific
studies regarding recommendations about its dose or duration. Herein, we would
like to discuss recent articles published about the prognostic factors for THS
relapse.
Keywords: Tolosa-hunt syndrome,
