• Hunting

  Tolosa-Hunt syndrome was suspected, and the patient was treated with high-dose corticosteroids. An open biopsy was performed after failed prolonged corticosteroid therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Painful Ophthalmoplegia

  CONCLUSION: We present a rare bacterial abscess of the cavernous sinus causing painful ophthalmoplegia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypesthesia

  CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of acute onset of left-sided retro-orbital pain that progressed to a complete left Cranial Nerve VI palsy and Cranial Nerve V1 and V2 hypesthesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cranial Neuropathy

  The patient's pain improved immediately, and cranial neuropathy resolved during the next several weeks. After cultures demonstrated growth of A. actinomycetemcomitans, a regimen of orally administered amoxicillin and metronidazole was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Relevant data regarding clinical presentation, antimicrobial treatment and outcome of these patients were analyzed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The treatment with ciprofloxacin was stopped, and the patient has been free of lesion since, 18 months after the last treatment. [medicaljournals.se]

Treatment It is important to begin treatment early, as advanced cases may fail to respond. The most common treatments are iodine therapy or tetracyclines. [thecattlesite.com]

A wide variety of treatments have been used, generally successfully. [antimicrobe.org]
