摘要
Background: Painful ophthalmoplegia is an infrequent but very important presentation in the acute care setting and requires a thorough neurologic evaluation to determine its cause. This clinical sign has a large differential and generally indicates a serious cerebrovascular process. Case Report: We describe a patient with a subacute presentation of painful ophthalmoplegia, ultimately diagnosed as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, a rare inflammatory process of the cavernous sinus. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance for the Emergency Physician to quickly recognize painful ophthalmoplegia and rapidly elucidate the cause to prevent further complications for the patient.
