  • Title: Eagle's syndrome: the Ochsner experience.
    Author: Weiss LS, Butcher RB, White JA.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1992 Aug; 144(8):343-5. PubMed ID: 1453090.
    Abstract:
    Eagle fully described the syndrome that bears his name in 1948. He noted that the typical patient had undergone tonsillectomy in the past. Although reported in the literature, the carotid artery syndrome is frequently overlooked in patients manifesting craniofacial or pharyngeal pain but who have not undergone tonsillectomy. Cases representative of the variety of patients with Eagle's syndrome treated at the Ochsner Clinic Department of Otolaryngology are presented. The diversity of symptoms and its rather uncommon occurrence often make the diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome elusive. The anatomy and embryology of the stylohyoid complex is discussed, as well as the symptoms, differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment of Eagle's syndrome. We hope to refamiliarize the clinician with this condition in order that it be considered in the assessment of patients with craniofacial pain.
