Prednisone 50 mg daily for 2 weeks was prescribed with sudden relief of pain and recovery of diplopia. Fifteen days after prednisone withdrawal, headache and diplopia caused by right sixth cranial nerve palsy reappeared.

Two weeks later, the patient was readmitted due to recurrent severe headache and started prednisone 75 mg daily. Nevertheless, he developed diffuse chronic headache, bilateral sixth and partial left third cranial nerve palsy, right-side Claude-Bernand-Horner syndrome, dysphagia and dysphonia, intense chest pain, and gait unsteadiness with the need of a wheelchair. Early edema of the optic nerve was seen at the ophthalmological exam. …
