Abstract

Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by painful ophthalmoparesis and idiopathic granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus, classically extremely responsive to corticosteroid administration. We present a rare case of a 27-year-old man with Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome who did not respond to corticosteroids and the rupture of the co-existing internal carotid artery aneurysm caused his death.
