Resumen
MAREQUE BUENO, Javier et al. Intraoral approach in Eagle syndrome: A case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.4, pp.157-161. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-05582011000400005.
Eagle syndrome is a rare condition resulting from either the elongation of the temporal styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Most patients are asymptomatic, but when this structure presses against other parts of the head and neck it can originate a wide range of symptoms, including cervico-facial pain, foreign body sensation in oropharynx, increased saliva secretion, headache and difficulty with swallowing, speaking and neck or tongue movements. The case of a 50-year-old woman with Eagle syndrome is reported. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed the clinical suspicion. The intraoral approach was used for the partial resection of both styloid processes. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and differential diagnosis are described.
