- Abstract: Alternating recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia is caused by various neurological conditions including Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, sellar mass, and parasagittal meningioma. We experienced a rare case of recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia occurring on the contralateral side as a manifestation of idiopathic hypertrophic tentorial pachymeningitis. We propose that idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of alternating recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia.
