Background: Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) and recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON) are rare diseases reported within the "Painful lesions of the cranial nerves" section of the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 edition (ICHD-3). In case of a first painful attack, differential diagnosis could be challenging and many pitfalls are due to the rarity of the disorders and the lack of information about correct medical management in youngsters.
Case Presentation: Our main purpose was to report a new case of THS and a new case of RPON describing management and diagnostic investigation at the time of the first episode.

We present two cases emphasizing the diagnostic significance of the loss of enhancement during the symptom-free period and valproate as a beneficial option in prophylaxis.
