Abstract
Eagles syndrome occurs when an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament (a ligament connecting styloid process to hyoid ) causes recurrent throat pain or foreign body sensation, dysphagia, or facial pain.[1] It is a rare condition affecting around 4 to 8 per 10,000 people. [7] It is more common in females than males (2:1 ratio) and in ages greater than 50 years. [8] The symptoms related to this condition can be confused with those attributed to a wide variety of facial neuralgias.[5]
