Abstract:
An 11-year-old girl presented with acute, severe symptoms resembling Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. Response to corticosteroids was rapid and satisfactory, but of short duration. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a supra- and parasellar mass and the abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a round tumor. Histopathologic study of the abdominal mass revealed Burkitt's lymphoma.
