Eagle's syndrome, elongated styloid process and new evidence for pre-manipulative precautions for potential cervical arterial dysfunction.

Introduction: Safety with upper cervical interventions is a frequently discussed and updated concern for physical therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths. IFOMPT developed the framework for safety assessment of the cervical spine, and this topic has been discussed in-depth with past masterclasses characterizing carotid artery dissection and cervical arterial dysfunction. Our masterclass will expand on this information with knowledge of specific anatomical anomalies found to produce Eagle's syndrome, and cause carotid artery dissection, stroke and even death.
