Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Anatomy
  • Embryology

Background:

  • Eagle syndrome, described in 1948, is typically associated with prior tonsillectomy.
  • The condition involves the stylohyoid complex and can present with craniofacial or pharyngeal pain.

Observation:

  • Patients without tonsillectomy history may be misdiagnosed, despite presenting with similar symptoms.
  • The diverse presentation and relative rarity of Eagle syndrome contribute to diagnostic challenges.

Findings:

  • This review presents cases of Eagle syndrome treated at the Ochsner Clinic.
  • Discussion includes anatomy, embryology, symptoms, differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness can aid clinicians in diagnosing Eagle syndrome.
