It is a routine protocol to examine the soft tissues, cartilage and bone tissues of neck during post-mortem examinations performed in cases hanging-related deaths. Fractures hyoid thyroid cartilage, as well bleeding ecchymoses around first fracture are practically great importance establishing case live hanging.

Calcified stylohyoid ligament is also called an elongated styloid process and the symptom complex that it produces is called Eagle's syndrome. The symptoms of neck pain, sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, dysphagia and otalgia may be confused with other head and neck pain and are often worsened by yawning, opening the mouth wide or turning the head laterally. This is the result ...

elongation of the styloid process or stylohyoid ligament calcification is a well recognized finding of dental practice, and an incidence of 4 to 30 percent has been reported on radiographs. rarely, complete mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament or elongation of styloid process has been associated with difficulties in intubation and significant clinical symptoms, which is termed eagle’s synd...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Reported here is a randomized retrospective analysis of 28 cases of elongated styloid process causing nagging cervicofacial pain, both unilateral and bilateral, and the effect of styloidectomy in these cases in relieving the symptom complex of the patient, in situations where conservative management failed in alleviating the symptoms.

Historically, Eagle syndrome is a term that has been used to describe radiating pain in the orofacial region, foreign body sensation, and/or dysphagia due to a unilateral or bilateral elongated styloid process impinging upon the tonsillar region. Because elongated styloid processes-with or without associated Eagle syndrome-can present with various symptoms and radiographic findings, it can be c...

BACKGROUND Eagle's syndrome (Elongated styloid process) is often misdiagnosed due to its vague symptomatology. The diagnosis relies on detail history taking, palpation of styloid process in tonsillar fossa and imaging modalities. OBJECTIVE To assess the length and medial angulation of elongated styloid process with the help of three dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan and to describe...
