title: Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome Demonstrated by Constructive Interference Steady State Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To highlight the role of constructive interference steady state (CISS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS).
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a case of THS in a 55-year-old woman presenting with left painful opthalmoplegia that was diagnosed by CISS MRI. Patient responded to steroid treatment and the lesion resolved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Imaging with MRI can help in making the diagnosis of THS by demonstrating an enhancing soft tissue lesion in the cavernous sinus and orbital apex resolving with steroids. CISS MRI is a sensitive sequence for diagnosis and follow-up imaging in THS.
