Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare syndrome in which headache is associated with ophthalmoplegia and third, fourth or sixth cranial nerves palsy. It occurs most frequently in childhood and teenagers. At magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium (GD-DTPA) it may be observed a transitory enhancement of the affected nerve. We present the case of a male teenager, 16 years old, with typical medical history and enhanced signal at left oculomotor nerve in cisternal portion at MRI weighted in T1 with GD-DTPA. On the control exam, eighteen months later, there was no remarkable lesion. The enhancement of oculomotor nerve at MRI is always pathological and among the differential diagnosis we must include: neoplasia (lymphoma and leukemia), infections (AIDS, syphilis), inflammatory process (sarcoidose and Tolosa-Hunt syndrome) and vascular (posterior communicating artery aneurysm).
