A Rare Cause of Recurrent Cerebral Ischemia and Syncope: Eagle Syndrome

The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
Kemal Koray BalYusuf Vayisoglu

Abstract

Eagle syndrome is defined as symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid and stilomandibular ligament. The syndrome was described by WW Eagle in 1937. The styloid process is located between the internal and external carotid arteries and laterally in the tonsillar fossa. Patients with cerebrovascular ischemia causing syncope or hemiparesia due to Eagle syndrome are rarely published in the literature. The authors presented a patient with recurrent cerebrovascular attacks due to long styloid process.
