A REVIEW OF TOLOSA HUNT SYNDROME A RARE NEURO-OPHTHALMIC DISORDER: DIAGNOSIS CHALLENGES AND THERAPEUTIC GOALS.
Occurring in very rare cases, Tolosa-Hunt syndrome impacts the retro-orbital and orbital regions. Due to its similarities to various illnesses impacting neurological and vascular issues, accurate diagnosis of THS can be challenging. The most typical symptoms of tolosa-hunt syndrome are a lack of sensation in the area supplied by the trigeminal nerve, discomfort in the orbit, edema, headache, and palsies of the cranial nerves. These symptoms can last anywhere from a few months to a few years until they go away. High dosage steroids are administered to treat painful opthalmoplegia when other possible reasons have been ruled out. The diagnosis and main treatment plan can be solidified when the patient's clinical response to corticosteroid treatment is rapid in THS. With an emphasis on the pharmacist's responsibility to monitor adverse drug reactions (ADRs), ensure medication safety, and educate patients, this article examines the disease's origins, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and treatment methods.
