title: [Tolosa-Hunt painful ophthalmoplegia. Apropos of a case in a 10-year-old girl].
abstract: The authors report a case of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome in a 10 1/2 year-old girl. Associating lasting orbital pain and impairment of the ocular motor innervation, this syndrome evolves over several years with spontaneously regressive bouts and may induce ocular sequellae. The dramatic efficacy of corticosteroid treatment is considered by several authors as a diagnostic test. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, which should be suggested only after careful enquiry searching for a general or local cause. In fact, only the ophthalmoplegic migraine may set up difficult problems of differential diagnosis.
