Eagle syndrome presenting with external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm

Abstract: Eagle syndrome refers to a clinical syndrome caused by the abnormal elongation of the styloid process with calcification/ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. We present the first reported case of Eagle syndrome resulting in an external carotid artery (ECA) pseudoaneurysm. A patient presented to emergency room with an expanding, painful right-neck mass. CT angiography with three-dimensional volume rendering showed a bilobed 4.0-cm right ECA pseudoaneurysm and bilateral ossification of the stylohyoid ligamen… Show more

“…On neurological examination, left central facial paralysis and left hemiparesia were found. Eagle syndrome is a rare clinical entity and described as an elongated styloid process or mineralization of the stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligaments that causes cervical and facial pain, sensation of foreign body lodged in the pharynx, dysphagia and odynophagia (7,10,19). The normal length of the adult styloid in an adult is thought to be approximately 2.5 cm while an elongated styloid is considered >3 cm.…”

“…El síndrome de Eagle no ha sido reportado como desencadenante de arritmias y muerte súbita; no obstante, su estrecha relación con la estimulación de los senos carotídeos ha sido descrita con cuadros sincopales, y si se asocia a alteraciones cardiacas, el riesgo puede aumentar [21][22][23]. El reflejo del seno carotídeo es desencadenado al aplicar presión en o cerca de la bifurcación de las arterias carótidas; y debido a su proximidad con el nervio glosofaríngeo, que posee fibras sensitivas, se puede producir bradicardia e incluso síncope, lo cual ha sido denominado reflejo cardioinhibitorio.…”
