Abstract
NEDUNCHEZHIAN, Kavitaa. Eagle syndrome - An overview. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i1.1247.
Eagle syndrome represents symptoms brought about by compression of vital neurovascular and muscular elements adjoining the styloid process because of the elongation of styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament. It is crucial for dentists, otolaryngologists and neurologists to be aware of the elongation of the styloid process and associated signs and symptoms. This article reviews the aetiopathogenesis, classification, investigative procedures and treatment modalities associated with Eagle syndrome.
