[Tolosa-Hunt-syndrome (author's transl)].
A man 73 years old had during 26 years six episodes of unilateral severe pain in the head and face accompanied by hypaesthesia in the fifth cranial nerve. The episodes lasted several weeks and were three times accompanied by ophthalmoplegia. Between the episodes complete remissions occurred. Extensive examinations including carotid artery angiography and computertomography were negative. The problems of a diagnosis based on negative criteria are emphasized.
