Description
N. Fagni and colleagues reported an Eagle syndrome case in 2026 where years of face and throat pain finally found a cause. Eagle syndrome is rare, marked by a long styloid bone spur or calcified tendon near the hyoid bone. The patient had suffered dental pain, painful swallowing, temple headaches, neck pain, and trouble swallowing, while routine checks looked normal.
Neck CT showed long, ossified styloid processes on both sides, matching Eagle syndrome. Surgeons removed the ossified segments through both sides of the neck in a minimally invasive approach. Symptoms resolved fully. The case shows how anatomy knowledge plus imaging can end years of unexplained head and neck pain.
