“…The stylohyoid chain consists of the styloid process of the temporal bone, the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone, and the connected stylohyoid ligament. 6 The styloid process originates from two separate embryological parts: (1) the tympanohyal, which represents the upper part of the Reichart's cartilage and forms the part embedded in the temporal bone, and (2) the stylohyal, which forms the principal part of the process. These parts are united by cartilage, which undergoes ossification, often as late as middle age.…”

Aim: To describe the management of patients with elongated styloid process syndrome (Eagle's syndrome). Materials and Methods: Sixty-one patients with elongated styloid process were treated between 2000 and 2005. Computed tomography examination defines those whose symptoms suggest the diagnosis. Patients with styloid processes longer than 25 mm were treated by surgical resection. Results: Fiftyseven (93.4%) of 61 patients treated for Eagle's syndrome became asymptomatic after resection. There were no serious complications. Conclusion: Patients with clinically and radiologically established elongated styloid process can be managed successfully by surgical resection using an external approach.

“…15 Eagle syndrome, sometimes called styloid or stylohyoid syndrome, is a symptom complex associated with elongation of the styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. 6 The syndrome is more frequent in women than in men. Patients are usually older than 30 years and rarely younger.…”

“…Among other treatments, transpharyngeal manipulation with manual fracturing of the elongated styloid process is an office procedure performed under local anesthesia of the transpharyngeal area (288). This treatment is associated with poor outcome due to stylalgia (289). Two surgical treatments are advocated (290)(291)(292)(293)(294), the extraoral or the intraoral approach.…”

Elongated Styloid Process and Eagle's Syndrome

A controversial entity, Eagle's syndrome, is reviewed. After an anatomical description of the maxillo-vertebro-pharyngeal region we summarize the causative, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the syndrome. Two different conditions are often reported as Eagle's syndrome: one characterized by dysphagia and unilateral pharyngeal pain radiating to the ear and worsened by swallowing; the other characterized by pain in the head and neck region due to compression of the neurovascular structure by an elongated styloid process. The latter also includes typical cranial neuralgias (such as glossopharyngeal neuralgia) and carotidynia. We believe that the term "Eagle's syndrome" is legitimate only in the first case and in those "atypical" painful head and neck conditions related to an elongated styloid process and relieved by styloidectomy. We believe Eagle's syndrome deserves consideration in the International Headache Classification.

“…The styloid process varies in length in different subjects as well as in individual patients. Radiographic studies have shown that a normal styloid process is generally varies from 2 to 3 cm in length (8,13). Some other authors have considered a process to be elongated when greater than 4.0 cm in length, and the highest incidence of symptoms occurred over this length.…”

INTRODUCTION: Eagle's syndrome is a rare condition caused by the elongation of the styloid process (> 4 cm) or calcifi cation of the stylohyoid ligament. Patients with Eagle's syndrome typically present various clinical symptoms, such as headache, facial pain, neck pain, pulsating pain, sore throat, foreign body sensation, dysphagia, dysphonia, cough, voice changes, otalgia or vertigo. 3D printing refers to processes in which successive layers of material are formed from 3D computer tomography data to synthesize a three-dimensional object. This new diagnostic technique of rapid prototyping technology led to innovative new applications in biomedicine. OBJECTIVE: The primary goal for this case study was to fi nd out, whether the nowadays so popular 3D technology aids in the treatment of the Eagle syndrome or other similar craniofacial abnormalities during the surgical procedure. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a patient who initially presented a combination of symptoms like headache, sore throat, neck pain, which exacerbated with the movement of the head. This case report provides a brief review of the diagnosis and surgical management of the Eagle's syndrome with the help of 3D model navigation. CONCLUSION: Eagle's syndrome is diffi cult to diagnose due to its wide variability in symptoms. The inherent accuracy and other properties of 3D printing have allowed it to have exciting applications in anatomy education and surgery, with great benefi t to the maxillofacial surgery. With the assistance of 3D technology, it is much easier for the surgeon to plan the surgical approach and the surgery, and signifi cantly reduce the operation time
