Abstract:
Eagle's syndrome is a rare radio-clinical entity characterized by ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. We report the case of an Eagle syndrome in a 62-year-old patient, without any particular pathological history, admitted for a continuous cervical pain evolving since 5 years. The radiography of the cervical spine shows a large linear formation under the mandible, which seems to continue with the styloid processes. Cervicofacial CT scan showed excessive calcification of both stylohyoid ligaments. The patient was put on symptomatic treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
