Eagle Syndrome is a condition that causes various complaints in the neck and head region, resulting from the abnormal elongation or calcification of the styloid process (an extension of the hyoid bone). This syndrome occurs when the styloid process puts pressure on the surrounding nerve and vascular structures. In medical literature, it is also referred to as “Styloid Process Syndrome” or “Stylohyoid Syndrome,” but it is more commonly known as “Eagle Syndrome” among the public.<\/p>\n

This syndrome takes its name from the American ear, nose, and throat specialist Dr. Watt W. Eagle, who first described it in 1937. Dr. Eagle was the first physician to systematically define the symptoms caused by an elongated styloid process.<\/p>\n
