ABSTRACT

Eagle’s syndrome can be defined as the elongation of the styloid process and the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. It is characterized by painful pharyngeal symptoms, odynophagia, dysphagia, headaches, pain irradiation to the ear and cervical pain. The average length of the styloid process is 2.5 cm. Eagle’s syndrome etiology is not well known. The present study reports the case of a 53 year old male patient who presented cervical pain, pain at the lateral region of the neck, as well as limitations in neck lateral movements. Protocol was initiated for stylohyoid ligament resection via extended sub-mandibular extra-oral approach. The aim of the present article was to raise awareness on the advantages of extra-oral approach in these cases, as well as supplementary postsurgical therapy used at the Regional Hospital «Licenciado Adolfo López Mateos», ISSSTE (Mexico).
