Eagle’s Syndrome occurs when an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes recurrent foreign body sensation or sore throat, neck pain, swallowing difficulty or facial pain. Also, throat pain may radiate to the ipsilateral ear. The treatment of Eagle’s Syndrome is primarily surgical.
