Eagle's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by an elongated styloid process and/or stylohyoid ligament calcification, often presenting with clinical features such as neck pain, dysphagia, odynophagia, otalgia, headache, or oropharyngeal pain. Treatment options can range from conservative measures to surgical intervention. In this case report, a 54-year-old man visited the dental service for a routine consultation and reported frequent headaches and a painful sensation in the neck during the anamnesis. Panoramic radiography revealed bilateral calcification of the stylohyoid complex. Further imaging with cone beam computed tomography showed elongated styloid processes measuring 58.21 mm on the left and 65.33 mm on the right. Despite existing controversies in the literature regarding Eagle's syndrome, the clinical and radiographic features presented by the patient led to the consideration of this condition for future discussions. Given the painful symptoms, a conservative treatment approach, including analgesics, was chosen, and no surgical intervention was performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
