Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome - Cranial Neuroimaging Findings.

INTRODUCTION The etiology of Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS) is still unknown. The initial standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not be sufficient for diagnosis, so dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI may be necessary to demonstrate the presence of lesions. METHODS Seven patients diagnosed with THS according to the International Headache Society criteria (beta version) were included into the stu...

Abnormality in the cavernous sinus in three patients with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome: MRI and CT findings.

Three patients with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) were examined using computed tomography (CT), orbital venography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CT of the brain showed no definite abnormality in two patients, right optic nerve enlargement and an abnormal area around the orbital apex in one patient. Orbital venography showed an occlusion of the superior ophthalmic vein in one of three patie...
