Eagle-syndrome is a condition associated with the elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, clinically characterized by throat and neck pain, radiating into the ear.
I dont know how long I have had it but I know at least 5 dentists missed it on panaromic xrays and radiologists missed it on other images. I had to have an Eagle expert radiologist at a university hospital look at existing imaging to confirm what everyone else had missed.
It was a dentist who eventually caught it.
It can compress your jugular. I have seen pictures of it doing it. One person who had surgery said the CT didnt pick up compressing the jugular and it wasnt until surgery that they discovered the compression
I am not sure yet if I have a CNS leak but many do.
And over and over and over again I am hearing Doctors tell me they have never heard of Eagle Syndrome...which apparently is pretty common medical experience of patients who have it.
