Eagle’s Sydrome

Abstract

SUMMARY The authors present a clinical case report on Eagle’s Syndrome. A leukoderma female patient, aged 65, reported pain in the buccopharyngeal region that irradiated to the mandible branch, further to complaints of constant headaches and sensation of a strange body in the throat. The ex-ray showed bilateral abnormality of the stylohyoid complex, which added to the findings of the clinical exam, allowed us to establish the diagnosis of Eagle’s syndrome. We understand that the elongation of the styloid process can be caused by craniofacial and cervical pain, which is sometimes difficult to diagnose and leads patients into searching for several specialties. We believe that the ideal for such cases is a multi-subjectivity assessment. DESCRIPTORS Stylohyoid Syndrome. Eagle’s Syndrome. Calcification.
