Abstract
An 11-year-old girl presented with acute, severe symptoms resembling T olosa-Hunt syndrome. Response to corticosteroids was rapid and satisfa ctory, but of short duration. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demon strated a supra- and parasellar mass and the abdominal ultrasound demo nstrated a round tumor. Histopathologic study of the abdominal mass re vealed Burkitt's lymphoma.
