Fulltext PDFEagle syndrome is a radioclinical entity characterized by ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. While cervical pain and dysphagia are among the typical symptoms, patients can present with a wide spectrum of benign and dangerous symptoms. Incidences of abnormal stylohyoid length range from 4% to 7.3%, but only 4% to 10% of these patients present with symptomatology. Palpation of the tonsillar compartments makes it possible to suspect the diagnosis. Standard x-rays generally confirm this, but it is especially CT that allows us to properly explore the calcified ligament and its relationships. The standard treatment is surgery. We present a case of a bilateral eagle syndrome that took seven years to be diagnosed and who was treated in our department by cervic otomy.
