ABSTRACT
Both men and women are affected by the rare disease called Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. We don't know exactly what causes it to evolve. It is usually put into the categories of either idiopathic inflammation or pseudotumor. Its pathological feature is a non-specific inflammatory process with fibroblastic, lymphocytic, plasmocytic infiltration, which can be found, for the most part, in the wall of the sinus cavernosus. Granulocytic and giant-cell infiltrations have been described too. The possibility of autoimmune disease has also come up. In our current study we describe the case of a female patient who recovered with the help of a steroid therapy. Through examining her, we also found immunological alterations, which should urge us to thoroughly examine the further observations of this kind.
