Recurrent multiple cranial nerve palsies (Tolosa-Hunt plus?).

T Kansu, O Us, G Sarpel

    Journal of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Recurrent cranial nerve palsies without a clear cause may indicate Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. Early steroid treatment offers rapid improvement and good recovery prognosis for these patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Recurrent cranial nerve palsies present a diagnostic challenge.
    • Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A cohort of twelve patients with recurrent cranial nerve palsies and no focal cause was observed over four years.
    • Clinical presentation and literature review suggest a link to Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia, often associated with cranial nerve palsies.
    • The study highlights the similarities between idiopathic recurrent cranial nerve palsies and THS.
    • Steroid therapy demonstrated a rapid, though non-specific, positive response in most observed patients.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of THS are vital for timely intervention.
    • Prompt steroid administration can lead to significant clinical improvement.
    • The prognosis for complete recovery in patients with THS is generally favorable with appropriate treatment.
