    Notes: A 62-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis and with a 3-year history of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is presented. Because of his ankylosing spondylitis naproxen was prescribed; this decreased the attacks of headache to about 50%. However, treatment with indomethacin and steroids eliminated the attacks completely, the former drug in 24 h but only when the drug was taken; the latter drug was completely effective after a week but with an effect that lasted half a year after the medication was stopped. Orbital phlebography showed changes similar to those previously observed in patients with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and cluster headache. Venous vasculitis thus seems to be associated with all three disorders and may be a factor of etiologic significance.

    Orbital phlebography in patients with cluster headache (1987)

    Notes: Thirteen patients with cluster headache in an active stage were investigated with orbital phlebography. About 60% of the patients showed pathologic changes on the phlebograms, such as changes in the appearance of the superior ophthalmic vein. Five patients had pathologic changes on both sides and three patients on one side only. All patients with unilateral pathologic findings on orbital phlebography had the attacks on the same side. The phlebographic findings in these patients with cluster headache were very similar to those of patients with the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. There is also some similarity in the symptoms in the two disorders. It has previously been suggested that the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is caused by venous vasculitis, and the present findings to some extent support the idea that cluster headache may have the same etiology.

    A new etiology for visual impairment and chronic headache: The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome may be only one manifestation of venous vasculitis (1986)

    Notes: The Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is characterized by recurrent periods of painful ophthalmoplegia, dramatically ameliorated by steroid treatment. In half of the cases orbital phlebography shows characteristic changes. Ninety-six patients with orbital pain characteristic of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome were submitted to orbital phlebography regardless of the existence of other symptoms. A pathologic phlebogram with changes typical of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome was found in 50 patients. In 17 of these 50 patients the symptoms consisted of orbital pain only and no ophthalmoplegia. Twenty patients had pain and ipsilateral decrease of vision but no ophthalmoplegia, and 13 had painful ophthalmoplegia. Of 41 patients treated with steroid medication 39 responded dramatically with regard to the pain. Earlier findings indicate that the phlebographic changes are due to venous vasculitis, which thus may cause irreversible visual impairment but also chronic headache without ophthalmoplegia. It is concluded that the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome may be only one manifestation of a not uncommon disease.
