Subscribe/Renew Journal
Eagle’s syndrome (ES) arises when an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes recurring throat pain or foreign body sensation, dysphagia, or facial pain. The additional signs may involve neck or throat pain with radiation to the ipsilateral ear. These symptoms and sign could be confused with those attributed to a wide variety of facial neuralgias. ES is diagnosed radiologically and by physical examination. The primary treatment of ES is surgical. Here we report a case in which the patient presented pain and difficulty during swallowing.
