2024年6月25日 · Eagle syndrome happens when an elongated styloid process or a hardened stylohyoid ligament causes nerve pain in your face, throat or neck. Surgery can often cure it.

Eagle syndrome occurs due to elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, potentially compressing the nearby carotid artery or glossopharyngeal nerve. [5] However, the cause of the elongation hasn't been known clearly.

2024年5月6日 · Eagle syndrome refers to symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament 1,2. It is often bilateral. In most cases, the cause is unknown; however, the condition is sometimes associated with disorders causing heterotopic calcification such as abnormal calcium/phosphorus metabolism and chronic renal failure.

2018年5月29日 · Eagle syndrome is a condition that causes pain in the throat and face. It is typically caused by an unusually long styloid process bone, which is a pointy bone just beneath the ear.

2023年2月26日 · Eagle’s syndrome, also known as stylohyoid syndrome, styloid syndrome, is caused by an elongated or disfigured styloid process, or a calcified stylohyoid ligament (Egierska D et al 2021). The abnormality or elongation leads to orofacial and cervical pain that are often triggered by neck movements.

2023年10月9日 · Eagle syndrome is a condition involving an elongated styloid process, the piece of bone that juts out under your ear. The long bony protrusion can cause moderate to severe pain due to nerve irritation, and in some cases, it can affect blood flow to your head and neck.

2018年9月18日 · Eagle syndrome is a rare condition that manifests with pain in your face or neck. This pain comes from problems with either the styloid process or the stylohyoid ligament.

When the skull’s styloid process—the pointy bone below the ear—becomes elongated in a manner that pushes against a nerve or blood vessel, it can result in Eagle syndrome. Common symptoms include potentially severe pain in the face, throat, and/or neck.

2023年7月29日 · Eagle syndrome, also known as stylohyoid syndrome, styloid syndrome, or styloid–carotid artery syndrome, is a rare condition caused by an elongated or disfigured styloid process.

The hallmark finding in Eagle Syndrome is the presence of an elongated styloid process and or the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. The styloid process is normally between 2.5-3.0 cm in length. If the styloid process exceeds 3.0 cm it is considered to be elongated.
