  • Eagle syndrome involves the impingement of an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament on neck structures, impacting vascular elements, known as stylocarotid syndrome, is less understood by doctors.
  • A review of cases at the hospital showed five instances of vascular issues linked to Eagle syndrome, including serious conditions like carotid perforation and internal carotid dissections.

Nonetheless, the diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome must derive from the combined findings of both clinical examination and radiographic imaging.
