“…In the case reports included in this systematic review, several traumatic events such as car or motorbike accidents, aggressions, blunt traumas or accidental falls are mentioned and the most commonly found syndromic form is the classic type characterized by symptoms such as headache, dysphagia, cervical pain, pharyngeal pain and foreign body sensation [ 1 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. In 2018 Pèus et al reported a case of typical vascular symptoms in a patient with neurological damages [ 11 ].…”

“…The diagnosis of Eagle syndrome is based on anamnesis, objective examination and instrumental examination. Through the collection of anamnestic data from patients, it is possible to retrace the traumatic events that led to the manifestation of the pathology: blunt traumas in four articles [ 1 , 6 , 11 , 17 ], road accidents (5.2) [ 13 , 14 ], “crack” while chewing [ 16 ], neck manipulation [ 12 ], aggressions (5.3) [ 3 , 16 ], accidental falls (5.1) [ 7 ].…”

“…The syndrome has a female-to-male predominance of three to one. It generally occurs in adult patients, with the age ranging from 30 to 50 years [ 3 , 4 ]. The styloid process elongation is often bilateral.…”

Traumatic Events and Eagle Syndrome: Is There Any Correlation? A Systematic Review

Background: Eagle syndrome occurs when elongated styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament interfere with the surrounding anatomical structures giving rise to various symptoms. Watt W. Eagle identified two types: stylo-hyoid classic syndrome and stylo-carotid artery syndrome. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to evaluate correlations between Eagle syndrome and traumatic events or teeth extractions. Methods: out of 294 articles, the final study allowed the identification of 13 studies focusing on traumatic events. Out of 342 articles, the final study allowed the analysis of two studies regarding extractive dental events. Results: 13 articles showed correlations between the onset of symptoms in Eagle syndrome and traumatic events and highlighted two possibilities: traumatic event could fracture the already elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament; trauma itself triggers the pathophysiological mechanisms that lead to lengthening of styloid process or calcification of stylohyoid ligament and therefore the typical symptoms. The only two case reports concerning Eagle syndrome symptoms after extractive dental events describe the onset of classic type. Conclusions: The analyzed articles confirm correlation between traumatic event and onset of typical symptoms of Eagle syndrome. There is not enough literature linking extractive dental events to Eagle syndrome. Trial registration: CRD42020185176.

“…The only imaging feature that is diagnostic for this entity is the length of styloid process/calcified stylohyoid ligament. The normal styloid process measures approximately 2.5 cm [5] however Kaufman et al reported 3 cm length as the upper limit for normal size [1]. The length over than this can be regarded as abnormal.…”
