Eagle syndrome. A narrative review

“…Eagle syndrome is also known as styloid process 1,6,17 , styloid syndrome, 1,25 Stylohyoid syndrome, 2,16,25 Stylohyoid…”

“…1,9,25 It was first des-cribed by Watt W. Eagle in 1937, [28][29][30] who defines it as the relationship between the elongation of the styloid process and the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament resulting in pain related to the cranial and sensory nerves of the oropharynx, neck and ear. This syndrome has three historical periods: the first one began 364 years ago with the first report of ossification of the stylohyoid process reported by Marchetti in 1652.…”

“…Complex Syndrome, 25 Carotid Artery Syndrome, 1 Carotid style Syndrome, 9 Elongated and Ossified Styloid Process Syndrome 1,9,28 or Stylohyoid Neuralgia. 1,9,25 It was first des-cribed by Watt W. Eagle in 1937, [28][29][30] who defines it as the relationship between the elongation of the styloid process and the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament resulting in pain related to the cranial and sensory nerves of the oropharynx, neck and ear.…”

“…Pain is caused by the elongation of the styloid process and by the partial or total calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The group consisting of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament is called "stylohyoid complex", [16][17][18] which has its embryonic origin in the cartilage of the second pharyngeal arch or hyoid arch (Reichert's cartilage). [19][20][21][22][23][24] ES is part of musculoskeletal disorders related to the temporomandibular joint; masticatory and cervical muscles as well as associated structures.…”

“…[19][20][21][22][23][24] ES is part of musculoskeletal disorders related to the temporomandibular joint; masticatory and cervical muscles as well as associated structures. 1,8 Diagnosis of ES is made by clinical and radiographic methods. [25][26][27] However, ES is frequently underdiagnosed due to its low prevalence and inadequate knowledge of craniofacial and cervico-pharyngeal syndromes.…”
