It is a radio-clinical entity characterized by a heterogeneous polymorphic symptomatology most often involving headaches, facial pain, dysphagia and a foreign body sensation in the throat. Its management is mainly surgical. It is a rarely diagnosed condition in children. Here we report a typical case of Eagle’s syndrome which was diagnosed in a 14-year-old child with a history of chronic right unilateral pharyngeal discomfort, odynophagia and oropharyngeal foreign body sensation. CT scan showed a long left styloid process. The patient underwent surgical removal of the elongated styloid process externally. The outcome was favorable after surgery.展开更多

This study case report was to evaluate a 62-year-old female patient, with limited mandibular and cervical movements, articular and muscular pain, ear fullness, irritation of the lingual mucosa, discomfort associated with movement of her tongue, involving temporomandibular dysfunction, torus mandibularis and Eagle’s syndrome. The treatment comprehended the collection of data of Helkimo’s Clinical Dysfunction Index, electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles in rest position and bite force, masticatory efficiency, speech evaluation and oclusal splint, after the excision of the stylohyoid process and mandibularis torus. The authors found a decrease in electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles, a reduction of painful symptoms throughout the region muscular and joint pains, an increase in the amplitude of mandibular movements, an improvement in masticatory efficiency and an increase in bite force.展开更多

As a result of Eagle’s various studies, 4 out of every 100 patients showed that the styloid process was long. However only 4% of these cases are symptomatic [1]. Surgical traumas such as tonsillectomy or stylomandibular chronic irritation of the ligament, proc. of styloideusosteitis, ossifying periosteitis, tendinitis or mucositis why could it be [2]. The main symptoms are facial pain, dysphagia, sore throat, earache and headache. It may be unilateral or bilateral. The styloid process can be shortened through an intraoral or external approach. The case of Eagle syndrome in a 39-year-old female patient who was diagnosed to have bilateral elongated.展开更多
