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.

Background. Tolosa–Hunt syndrome (THS) is a rare disorder involving the orbital and retro-orbital space. The typical symptoms include sensory loss in the trigeminal nerve’s distribution, orbital pain, swelling, headaches, and cranial nerve palsies. Case Presentation. We report a 40-year-old female who initially presented with biparietal headache, unresponsive to medication, which then led to ophthalmoplegia and orbital pain. Serological findings demonstrated positive CANCA-PR3. She was initially treated with 1 g pulse methylprednisolone for three days. Based on the rheumatological evaluation and her positive lung nodule, hematuria, dysmorphic red blood cells, and positive antiproteinase 3 classic antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (CANCA-PR3) and also based on the diagnostic criteria for granulomatosis with polyangiitis criteria for Wegner disease, her treatment was continued with prednisolone 1 mg/kg and also rituximab at the first and 14th day of treatment. Conclusion. In our case of THS, we achieved satisfactory improvement in symptoms through the administration of high-dose steroids.
