Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the epidemiology of the Eagles syndrome among patients presenting with a long-term complaint of pain in the ear. Material and Methods: In this prospective study, 48 patients with a complaint of otalgia lasting for 6 months, admitted to our clinic between June 2012 and December 2012 were included. All patients underwent to a maxillofacial CT scan, to detect the length of the styloid process. Patients with a length of more than 30 mm of styloid process were interpreted as Eagle's syndrome. Results: Ten patients(20.8%) with more than 30 mm length of styloid process were diagnosed as Eagle's syndrome. Conclusion: In patients with inconsistency in complaints and physical examination, Eagle syndrome as one of the causes of secondary otalgia, must be considered beside the primer otalgia..
