Abstract
Eagle syndrome is a rare condition characterized by an elongation of the styloid pro- cess and / or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Clinically, patients present with a history of chronic cervicofacial pain, treated by multiple specialists and through various therapeutic strategies. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, based primarily on the history and physical examination. We review and update on Eagle syndrome, covering their relevant clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment.
