The authors report a rare case of bilateral Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, which occurred in a 80-year-old female and remitted spontaneously. Inflammatory lesions were found not only in typical locations, i.e. superior orbital fissures and cavernous sinuses, but also in the pituitary; these imitated gland's macroadenoma in imaging studies.

Background: A worldwide mass vaccination campaign against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently underway. Although the safety data of the clinical trials did not report specific concerns regarding neuro-ophthalmological adverse events, they involved a limited number of individuals and were conducted over a relatively short time. The aim of the current review is to summarize the available postmarketing data regarding the occurrence of neuro-ophthalmological and other ocular complications of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Here we discuss a presentation of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) in a 44-year-old female with new right-eye ptosis, ophthalmoplegia and headache. Four days prior, she had almost identical ptosis and ophthalmoplegia in her left eye, which resolved. Cavernous sinus inflammation and symptom improvement with glucocorticoid treatment indicated THS with bilateral eye involvement, a presentation which may be undervalued by the current THS classification.
