Tolosa- Hunt syndrome is a rare steroid responsive disorder caused by granulation tissue involving the cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure presenting as painful ophthalmoplegia and facial pain. In this report, we describe coexistence of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome with ocular myasthenia which may point towards an autoimmune etiological basis behind the cavernous sinus granulation tissue formation and also offered therapeutic challenge to ameliorate the symptoms.
