EAGLE’S SYNDROME: CASE REPORT
Keywords:
Eagle syndrome, Elongated styloid process, calcified stylohyoid ligament
Abstract
Eagle's syndrome is a disease caused by an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. Eagle's syndrome is usually characterized by neck, throat, or ear pain; pharyngeal foreign body sensation; dysphagia; pain upon head movement; and headache. The diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome must be made in association with data from clinical history, physical examination, and imaging studies. Patients with increased symptom severity require surgical excision of the styloid process, which can be performed through an intraoral or an extraoral approach. Here, we report a case of the stylohyoid process bilaterally elongated in a 31-year-old female. We did a surgery by an extraoral approach and the patient's symptom was improved.
