A 64-year-old woman, with history of hypertension and arteriosclerosis, developed left painful ophthalmoplegia in July, 1988. Neurological examination proved abnormality of the third cranial nerve innervation, otherwise normal. No systemic illness was present. With corticosteroid therapy, the symptoms regressed and completely disappeared in 3 months. In January, 1990, right painful ophthalmoplegia appeared. Neurological examination revealed involvement of right sixth nerve and first branch of the right fifth nerve. With corticosteroid therapy, the symptoms completely regressed in several weeks. In April, 1990, she developed severe pain in the right side of the face. The facial pain disappeared rapidly with corticosteroid therapy, but reappeared following quit of steroid. She complained of severe pain of the right face, the territory of first and second branch of the right fifth nerve, but neurological examination was negative. With corticosteroid therapy, the pain disappeared remaining with mild tingling sensation on the right face, but during the tapering of corticosteroid in August, a severe peripheral type right facial palsy developed. Corticosteroid therapy resumed and the facial palsy regressed almost completely in ten days. Our case suggests that THS might be a variant of so-called recurrent cranial neuropathy.
