Abstract

The styloid process lies between the internal and external carotid arteries, is behind the pharyngeal wall in the area of palatine fossa. Three muscles and two ligaments attached to it. Calcification of this ligaments of the process can cause elongation, which may in turn result in vague pain in the head and neck area, as well as a dull, negging pain in the throat. This throat pain may be localized in the tonsillar fossa, or may radiate to the ears, head, or elsewhere. This syndrome has been designated as eagle´s syndrome, and is also known as styloid syndrome.
Recently, the authors have encountered a case of Eagle´s syndrome, We now report this case with a review of the pertinent literatures. The patient had pain in the pharyngeal area. She feeled a foreign body sense in her throat. These symptoms are classic. We removed part of her elongated styloid process, intraorally with tonsillectomy. Subsequently, all symptoms disappeared,
