Does the orientation of the styloid process cause Eagle Syndrome? An anatomical study of the styloid process in 72 Greek skulls

Abstract: Introduction: Patients often suffer from an elongated styloid process. This clinical entity is well known and is described as Eagle syndrome. The presence of this anatomical variation is not always associated with symptoms. However, there is a strong correlation between the elongated styloid process and Eagle syndrome. Aim: This study aims to calculate the incidence of elongated styloid processes in the Greek population, to analyze the morphometric characteristics of styloid processes, and to compare these amo… Show more

“…was diagnosed with chronic epipharyngitis according to Tanaka's diagnostic criteria [ 4 ]. When patients complain of sore throat or dysphagia without any particular findings, a differential diagnosis is made with consideration of diseases such as elongation of the styloid process (Eagle syndrome) [ 16 ]. From July 2017 to April 2018, 288 patients with chronic epipharyngitis were examined, and 29 patients underwent EAT while monitoring the electrocardiogram: total mean age = 39.8 ± 17.1 years; five males (mean age = 26.2 ± 17.5 years); 24 females (mean age = 42.6 ± 15.9 years); and male-to-female ratio = 1:4.8.…”

“…Elongated styloid processes are relatively rare, with an incidence of between 3.3% and 35% in the general population. It is widely recognized that approximately 4% of individuals with this condition will experience symptoms [3,4].…”
