[Clinico-pathogenetic polymorphism of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome].
The authors present the results of examining 31 patients with the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and analyze the relevant literature data. According to the authors, the syndrome may be due to limited pachymeningitis in the area of the cavernous sinus, periarteritis (arteritis) of the carotid artery siphon and their combination with limited leptomeningitis of the same localization. Clinical polymorphism depends on the nature, degree and stage of the process as well as on the individual characteristics of the topography of the damage. The necessity of the differential treatment is emphasized.
