Abstract
|
|
|
The implication of cervical pain associated with an elongated styloid process is credited to W. W. Eagle.
Even though there were earlier reports of ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, findings in more than 200 cases in 1980s and 1940s resulted in the naming of a clinical syndrome that continues to bear his name, Eagle's syndrome. It is also
sometimes
called styloid process neuralgia or elongatd styloid process syndrome is more common than generally recognized. The clinical symptoms range from a dull nagging pain with occasional radiation to ear, or to a foreign body sensation. Dysphagia and
odynophagia may also occur.
We successfully treated one case by removal of the elongated styloid process under the general anesthesia and C2 ganglion block.
We then reported the clinical feature of one case of the Eagle's syndrome and further researched with the foreign literature.
