Eagle's syndrome: a case report.
The authors analyzed, through a review of the literature, Eagle's Syndrome which is a complex entity which presents common symptoms varying from an aching sensation in the throat to dysphagia and pain when rotating the head. Diagnosis and treatment are the main topics discussed relative to this abnormality which involves the styloid/stylohyoid complex. A case report is presented of a woman, aged 52, who submitted to surgical treatment using an extraoral approach for removal of the elongated styloid process to illustrate and facilitate the explanation of Eagle's Syndrome, including its manifestations and proper treatment.
