Cervicofacial pain can occur due to elongated styloid process or calcifi cation of stylomandibular ligament or stylohyoid ligament. Other factors also include chronic tonsillitis and tonsillopharyngitis. When the etiology of cervicofacial is elongated styloid process and/or ossifi cation of ligament stylomandibular or stylohyoid it is referred as Eagle syndrome. Here, we are presenting the repo...

OBJECTIVES Eagle's syndrome is caused by an elongated or mineralised styloid process and characterised by facial and pharyngeal pain, odynophagia and dysphagia. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings. However radiologic imaging, like panoramic radiograph, helps to confirm the diagnosis. There are different treatments of the Eagle's syndrome. Anti-inflammatory medication (carbamazepime, cortico...

An unusual case of a unilaterally elongated styloid process with a length of 5.8 cm was found on a dry skull of a male cadaver. During his life the subject was complaining for reported ipsilateral otalgia presumably due to nerve compression from the elongated styloid process. The symptomatology appeared by such an anatomical variant as well as relative literature is discussed in this paper.

A 51-year-old man presented with right orbital pain and Horner syndrome three weeks previously. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no intracranial abnormalities, time-of-flight imaging of MR angiography (Picture A) detected an intimal flap and T1-weighted imaging (Picture B) indicated an intramural hematoma in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) at the cervical segment. Threed...
