The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a few frequent entity whose etiopathogeny and physiopathological mechanisms are still controversial. The headache associated to the paralysis of one or more cranial paired nerves, and also diplopia, strabismus, and palpebral ptosis cause a great fear in patients suffering it. Its diagnosis is by exclusion. With the objective of describing and up-dating the knowledge on this disease, it is presented the history of a patient who assisted the consultation because of remarked headache and retro-ocular pain. The clinical findings and magnetic resonance confirm the diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.
