    AbstractTolosa-Hunt syndrome is an entity of rare occurrence and unknown etiopathogenesis, expressed clinically by unilateral orbitary pain associated with simple or multiple oculomotor paralysis, which resolves spontaneously but may recur. We present a series of six cases taken care in our ambulatory, which fulfill the diagnostic criteria for Tolosa Hunt syndrome according to the International Headache Society Classification of 2004. There are also emphasized the demographic data of this series of patients, their 12 months follow-up, investigative studies and responsiveness to corticosteroids. As the diagnosis is always of exclusion, literature revision is focused on differential diagnosis of painful ophthalmoplegic syndromes.
