“…Classic emergent diagnoses associated with cranial nerve deficits are posterior communicating artery aneurysm, septic cavernous sinus thrombosis, internal carotid artery aneurysm, invasive fungal sinusitis, and lymphoma among others. 1 – 5 This is a case of a rare cause of cavernous sinus syndrome and cranial nerve deficit with an estimated incidence of one case per million per year. Written patient consent was obtained for inclusion of photographs and images accompanying this article.…”

A 39-year-old previously healthy male presented with three days of right eye pressure and one day of binocular diplopia. He denied history of trauma, headache, or other neurological complaints. He had normal visual acuity, normal intraocular pressure, intact convergence, and no afferent pupillary defect. His neurologic examination was non-focal except for an inability to adduct the right eye past midline on cranial nerve examination, with left-beating nystagmus noted in the left eye. MRI brain was obtained, showing right cavernous sinus lateral wall contrast enhancement. No other evidence of neoplasm, ischemia, infection, or aneurysm was found. The patient’s deficits rapidly improved with corticosteroids. This is the hallmark of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), characterized as idiopathic inflammation of the cavernous sinus. The patient was discharged on a prednisone taper, with continued improvement at outpatient neurology follow-up. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is one of the rare disorders recognized by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), and has an estimated incidence of one case per million per year. Topics Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, cranial nerve deficits, diplopia, neurologic examination.

Context:The pituitary gland involvement secondary to IgG4-RD is a rare entity, in addition, no reports have been identified in the literature of occlusion of the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery, due to extrinsic compression. Case description:We present a female patient of 54 years with panhypopituitarism, imaging findings highly suggestive of IgG4 hypophysitis, with elevated serum and CSF IgG4 levels and histopathological findings demonstrating dense fibroconnective tissue with hypereosinophilic sclerosis, these findings consistent with associated IgG4-related hypophysitis, as well as atypical sinus involvement cavernous and occlusion of the left carotid by extension of the inflammatory process, with good collateral circulation. Conclusion:The patient was treated with steroids and Rituximab, with a decrease in serum IgG4 values and clinical improvement.
