Eagle's Syndrome
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Eagle's syndrome (ES) occurs when an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes recurrent throat pain or foreign body sensation, dysphagia, or facial pain and which may radiate to the ipsilateral ear. The symptoms related to this condition can be confused with those attributed to a wide variety of facial neuralgias. ES can be diagnosed radiologically and by physical examination. The treatment of ES is primarily surgical. The styloid process can be shortened through an intraoral or external approach. In this paper a case of ES exhibiting unilateral symptoms with bilateral elongation of styloid process is reported.
