Abstract:
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is typically associated with an infl ammatory lesion in the cavernous sinus or orbital
fi ssure, often requiring steroids for symptom resolution. In this report, we describe a case of Tolosa-Hunt
syndrome preceded by several years’ history of idiopathic recurrent facial palsies. The spontaneous
resolution of THS in our case as well as prior facial nerve involvement supports the hypothesis that
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is part of a spectrum of idiopathic recurrent cranial neuropathy.
