Eagle syndrome is characterized by the presence of an abnormally elongated styloid process and has been related to different etiologies, including enthesitis, a known feature of spondyloarthropathies. We are describing a case of marked elongation of the styloid process in a patient with pre-existing ankylosing spondylitis and associated enthesopathy.

The clinical image illustrates an unusual case of a patient with bilateral carotid artery dissection caused by compression from elongated styloid processes. In this case, the diagnosis was overlooked eight years earlier. Eagle's syndrome, marked by an elongated styloid process, can result in cervical artery dissection, highlighting the significance of recognizing this correlation in recurrent cases, which occur more frequently than idiopathic ICA dissections.

Objectives: Vascular Eagle syndrome (ES) is a rare condition involving vessel compression by an elongated styloid process, leading to neurologic symptoms. Here, we present the case of a patient with a complication of carotid artery stenting for vascular ES and discuss the implications of treatment of this rare condition.
Case Description: A 35-year-old previously healthy male patient presented with transient aphasia and right-sided hemiparesis following ischemic stroke in left frontal lobe.

Introduction: Conservative treatment options, such as rest, massage, cold and heat packs, wrist splints, braces, physical therapy, thumb spica casts, and local steroid injections, have been used with mixed results to treat De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Surgical treatment, like releasing the first dorsal wrist compartment, is the last resort for resistant cases of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, exhibiting an efficacy of 91%. However, complications and increased expenses have limited the use of surgical interventions.

Background: The external carotid artery (ECA) branching pattern has been extensively studied in the current literature. However, its topographical variability has been barely reported. The aim of the current study was to assess the ECA in relationship with the styloid process (SP) and the mandible.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the structural characteristics of the styloid process (SP) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination in patients with maxillofacial diseases. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of elongated styloid process (ESP) and its relationship to gender in the study population. Radiographic records of 498 subjects were evaluated retrospectively.
