Summary:Twelve patients with recurrent cranial nerve palsies in whom no focal cause was found were seen during a period of 4 years. The literature is reviewed, and the relationship and similarity to Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is discussed. Early recognition is important since the response to steroids, although not specific, is rapid in most patients, and the prognosis for complete recovery is relatively good.
