Abstract

Painful ophthalmoplegia syndrome is characterised by the presence of peri-orbital or peri-cranial pain that is accompanied by paralysis of the oculomotor nerves. The differential diagnosis is broad, and requires a rigorous study. Three clinical cases of patients with painful ophthalmoplegia syndrome are described, in which multiple extension studies were required to obtain an aetiological diagnosis. Painful ophthalmoplegia syndrome is a complex disorder that has multiple causes, including infections, inflammatory, and tumour processes. Biopsy should be considered in those cases in which non-invasive studies are inconclusive.

Resumen

El síndrome de oftalmoplejía dolorosa se caracteriza por la presencia de dolor peri-orbital o peri-craneal que se acompaña de parálisis de los nervios oculomotores. El diagnóstico diferencial es amplio y requiere un estudio riguroso. Se describen tres casos clínicos de pacientes con síndrome de oftalmoplejía dolorosa en los que se requirieron múltiples estudios de extensión para obtener un diagnóstico etiológico.

El síndrome de oftalmoplejía dolorosa es un trastorno complejo que tiene múltiples causas incluyendo infecciones, procesos inflamatorios y tumorales. Debe considerarse la biopsia en aquellos en los que los estudios no invasivos no son conclusivos.
