Eagle?s syndrome is the term given to the symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or mineralisation of the stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament or posterior belly of the digastric muscle. Patients present with pain in throat localised in the tonsillar fossa or hyoid bone, hypersalivation, foreign body sensation, rarely voice change. The pain is triggered by head rotation, lingual movements, swallowing or chewing. Diagnosis is usually made on physical examination by digital palpation of the styloid process in the tonsillar fossa and radiographically by panoramic radiograph, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging. The clinical signs and symptoms are non-specific, so the correct diagnosis is most important.
