Abstract

Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS) is a rare disorder characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia due to idiopathic granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure, or orbital apex. The condition is often self-limiting but responds well to corticosteroid therapy. We present a case of a 54-year-old male with classic THS features, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges and management strategies. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent morbidity associated with this condition.
