Abstract EN
Tolosa–Hunt syndrome is a painful ophthalmoplegia characterized by recurrent unilateral orbital pain, ipsilateral oculomotor paralysis, and a rapid response to steroids.
Our report describes a 37-year-old young woman who presented with right ptosis, ipsilateral ophthalmoplegia, and painful headache with no other neurological deficits in which all biological and neuroimaging investigations were normal.
Complete recovery within one week of corticosteroid therapy was observed.
This is probably the first case of Tolosa–Hunt syndrome reported in Dakar, Senegal.
