Zusammenfassung:The authors review the symptoms, physical findings, possible causes, and treatment of Tolusa‐Hunt syndrome (THS). The authors present a patient with THS and tonsillitis. The symptoms, except for blindness, were alleviated after tonsillectomy. Anatomical relationships of the tonsils to the cavernous sinus are demonstrated and tonsillitis as a possible trigger mechanism of THS is suggested.
