Patterns of Arterial Wall Lesions in Eagle Syndrome: Case Series and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Impingement of an elongated styloid process (ESP) or calcified stylohyoid ligament on surrounding neck structures defines Eagle syndrome. The vascular variant, also called stylocarotid syndrome, results from impingement of vascular structures and remains poorly known among physicians. Research Design: We report our own experience and review the literature in order to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic management. Patients with vascular events in relation to an ESP and hospitalized at our institution were extracted from our databank and retrospectively reviewed. We also performed a comprehensive review of the literature on Eagle syndrome using PubMed® and Google Scholar, analysing the presentation, management, and follow-up. Results: We report five cases
