Abstract:

 Calcification of the stylohyoide ligament or Eagle syndrome, which causes a groupof symptoms caused by an elongated ossified styloid process, is still unclear. It canoccur unilaterally or bilaterally and most frequently results in symptoms of dysphagia,headache, pain on rotation of the neck, pain on extension of the tongue, changein voice, and a sensation of hypersalivation. These findings are well documentedin otolaryngology and dental literature but has not been sufficiently reported in theradiology literature, although it often goes undetected in the absence of radiographicstudies. In this case series report, we will present radiographic evidence on a seriesof CBCT views and 3D reconstructions of three cases with clinical evidence of Eaglesyndrome.
