We report on the imaging findings of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome in a 59-year-old patient. Clinical findings included periorbital pain, ptosis, disordered eye movements, and blurred vision. Treatment with intravenous administration of steroid resolved all symptoms. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of Tolosa-Hunter syndrome for locating the inflammatory tissue and follow-up. This case of Tolosa-Hunter syndrome with representative (FDG PET/CT) images may imply that FDG PET/CT is a useful tool in detecting and monitoring of this disease.

Solitary choroidal metastasis as an initial presentation of lung cancer is rare. A 67-year-old woman who initially presented with a 3-month history of blurred vision in the right eye was suggestive of choroidal melanoma on MRI. Preoperatively, a pulmonary mass was found on x-ray. She was referred for an FDG PET/CT imaging, which revealed a choroidal lesion with minimal FDG uptake in right eye and increased FDG activity in the known lung mass. A pathological diagnosis of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma was made after enucleation of the right eyeball.

We present the imaging findings pretreatment and posttreatment in a 58-year-old woman with recurrent thymic carcinoma. Two years after treatment, the patient presented with a 3-week history of right eye pain and blurred vision. Ophthalmological examination and MRI of the orbits showed a right superolateral choroidal lesion. Neurologic and whole-body FDG PET/CT scans showed a markedly glucose-avid right choroidal mass and extensive lung parenchymal, pleural, and thoracic nodal disease. There was a good response to chemoradiotherapy with a reduction in size and metabolism at all sites.
