Abstract EN
Cavernous sinus syndrome in pediatrics is a rare condition with poorly understood epidemiology.
Tolosa Hunt syndrome is characterized by severe and unilateral periorbital headaches accompanied by restricted and painful eye movements.
We present a 6-year-old female patient with symptoms of right eye ptosis, diplopia, and recurrent headaches of varying duration.
Initial non-contrast MRI showed 2.8 x 2.1 cm mass expanding the right cavernous sinus with extension into Meckel’s cave and Dorello’s canal.
Patient was started on IV corticosteroids on hospital admission and after 2-3 days, eye movements improved.
