Description
Ali Hammed and three co-authors report jugular Eagle syndrome as a rare cause of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, in a case report from 2025. The syndrome arises when a long styloid process presses on the internal jugular vein. Their patient was a 44-year-old woman with severe headache, neck pain and visual trouble after neck manipulation.
Scans showed extensive clotting in the brain's venous sinuses with bleeding from congestion, and confirmed the Eagle syndrome. Blood-thinning treatment alone did not settle her symptoms, but headache improved after endovascular thrombectomy. The authors note that removing the styloid may be needed for lasting control, and they urge clinicians to keep this rare cause in mind.
