- Abstract: A 48-year-old man came with a left-sided headache that was compatible with diagnostic criteria of cluster headache. Left oculomotor nerve palsy developed 2 weeks after headache onset. Magnetic resonance imaging showed wall thickening and enhancement by contrast material in the lateral aspect of the left cavernous sinus, consistent with a possible inflammatory lesion. The patient reported the almost complete remission of the pain and diplopia after steroid therapy. We speculate that Tolosa-Hunt syndrome should be included as a cause of cluster-like headaches.
